    "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......

    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.
    The true test of character is not how much we
    know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do
