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."

    You just lost 20 orders of NAV ... I'm more than happy to move our company to AVG!

    Now its only 20 orders here, but I wonder how many others are dropping you because of this, as I write this? Probably lots who won't even say so, on here.
