Story: Mozilla hits back at browser security claim
Posted by: Greg Pfister (Wednesday 21 September 2005, 8:34 PM)
As anyone thought that maybe Symantec's report is a little out of place, considering that they only develop for MS platforms? For Symantec to even consider writing the report gives credence to the thought they are trying to knock "anything not MS", disregarding their own facts. In fact, Symantec would be shooting themselves in the foot if they reported the actual real world facts, and thus, anything coming out of Symantec for any product other than Microsoft should be considered at the vary best as unreliable. In the real world, computers that has been hacked full of spyware & viruses where running IE and/or installing crippleware that the user did not read the agreement.
I've been using Symantec products for years, however, with this, and the repeated times that Symantec sent an unsolicited email (spam) to buy their anti-spam software, I believe its my (and my customers) time to move on. Thanks for the great ride while it lasted.
