I’ve always liked their software, but now I really like them because of their business. This is great. I’ve spoken about this before. This is very important for all computer users.
Thank you Symantec

Thank you Norton, for wasting an hour of my life
I gave you the best hour of my life!
Ok, it wasn’t that bad.
Symantec, apparently deployed a new version of Live Update today, and it apparently wasn’t well tested. After days of serious virus catches, it updated, and live updated, doesn’t function. I uninstall, reinstall, uninstall again, clear registry out a bit, search for files, look in Knowledge Base, reinstall. I got it working (think they disabled that update for now).
What a mess.
So for any Symantec engineer reading this. THANK YOU. That was fun 
Try beta testing next time.
Viruses
W32.Sobig.F is getting very annoying. So is W32.Blaster.Worm.
Why can’t people just take proper precautions:
- Firewall. I have 3, Win XP firewall/OS X Firewall, Sygate Personal Firewall (laptop), and a Netgear Hardware firewall (w/ SPI). All you really need is 1.
- Virus Scan
- Secure up to date software. At the very least, update Windows. Use a good email client like Mozilla.
Viruses are a real pain in the butt. And avoidable for all but the first few to get infected.
