During a presentation to announce Symantec's latest product, a spokesman
for the company delivered an enthusiastic pitch to a roomful of big name
clients. Indeed, such was the emphasis on the "uniqueness" of his company's
offering that attendees could have been forgiven for thinking that no one
else made anti-virus software.

Thankfully, visual aids were on hand to gently remind all present that
"unique" in the marketing world should generally be accompanied by a
"quite", or more accurately a "not".

During the wrap-up to his presentation, the spokesman was forced to query
collective laughs, and quite possibly shouts of "it's behind you", by
turning to face his presentation screen.

He found the source of their amusement in the form of a prominent pop-up
box, obscuring his Powerpoint presentation, stating that the rival
Kaspersky anti-virus software loaded on the machine he was using to present
had updated its definitions.
