Symantec Competing Unfairly Against Spybot?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the moving-to-secure-income dept.

frankbaird writes "Symantec has been claiming for months that the anti-spyware program Spybot-Search & Destroy corrupts Norton Ghost images. Spybot has tried to convince them this is a false positive. After having been ignored, and this is the second time Symantec has claimed a false positive against Spybot, the makers of Spybot have gone public. They claim that rather than compete fairly with quality products, Symantec is resorting to libel."

  1. Is the message 'Dont use Spybot'? by kestasjk · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are Symantec trying to tell us 'Dont use Spybot' or 'Use dd instead of Ghost'?.. Out of Ghost and Spybot I know which I consider more disposeable.

    Indeed, it is the other way around.
