This doesn't suprise me at all. The main problem with Norton and Mcafee is that neither one detects/cleans as well as Kaspersky or some of the other better AV's, yet the user has a false sense of security. On 3/20/08, Karla Lucas <klucas () sheridan hpmin com> wrote:

I agree. Ours is a small network (52 machines) but when I took the job all but two of the machines were running Symantec, and not a single one of them was clean. They averaged 4 active infections per box, some much higher. The other two were running McAfee, and one of them wouldn't boot properly until I removed it. The first thing I did was switch to Kaspersky. In three years malware has tried to infect the network only 3 times that I am aware of, and Kaspersky caught them all. - -- Karla Lucas ITM/HIPAA SO, Sheridan County Health Complex 826 18th St., Box 167 Hoxie, KS 67740 PH: (785) 675-3281 Ext. 165 E-Mail: klucas () sheridan hpmin com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH4mblkixC07R6u1ARAlyQAJ9SzunjMDhWNV/Jhl6ioiG0TIrSwACcDgQI 9mXzQPf8a4pYg2du0zySc0U= =jPjL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
