"Symantec confesses to using rootkit technology"

"We're just getting over the Sony DRM rootkit ruckus and now we have a security company hiding software components from Windows APIs with rootkit technology. News.com reports that Symantec Corp.'s spokesperson admitted to using this rootkit type feature in Norton SystemWorks to hide a directory so customers wouldn't accidentally delete files. "

.....and the band played on......:eek:

I'm not surprised. Symantec use to be the top security company. Then they went in to a decline about 4 years ago. I haven't used their products since. This kind of confirms it.
