Thought: Why can't we using the same type of process provide access to programs and or sites in the same manor so that the malware infections cannot "block" because the sites are not permanant?Additional thought:Symantec is and always will be "www.symantec.com", as with other sites.Low tech addition: How about collecting and publishing a list of helpful IP addresses, so that even if the hosts file or DNS is messed with some help might still be available?
Except that many sites, including Symantic are inconsistent with their usage of links within their site. In context, look at the source for this company's front page, and find the link for downloads. FQDN instead of a local reference. User is blocked again.
