Are there any websites out there with information on ALL the problems with Symantec/Norton security products?

I’ve been doing security software consulting for years. Our company sells and installs certain CA security products which have proven very WELL in the field. We routinely replace Symantec/Norton products with these alternatives as the Norton products tend to “destroy” decent Windows installations. Sometimes (as any experienced tech can vouch for) the Norton products won’t even uninstall properly and we are forced to re-image!

Every so often I get non-technical customers who are “blinded” by Symantec’s monopoly, advertising, etc. I wish there was an independent source of information I could point them to that could technically show all the troubles contained in such wretched Symantec “suite” products like “Internet Security”. TIA.

Wow, you experience the same problems of people thinking
“inside the Norton/Symantic box” of promotion hype and FUD,
that I get from people who only think “inside the Microsoft box”!
I actually encourage folks to start to break OUT of the “BOX” built by monopolists and market controlling corporations, and use one of the 500+ virus free, stable, safe *BSD or GNU/Linux OSes!
Very difficult to combat and reverse the effects of propaganda! has 310 LiveCDroms, FREE. Not one suffers the “114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions” and we are growing at the incredible rate of a million copies a month, but, that is just in the West.
China is giving out several hundred million DLs of Red Flag Linux to it’s citizens. How they fight Piracy to remain in the WTO.
