I've run into yet another instance of symantec doing what it does best... and that is suck.

When one of my users emails me saying they have a virus... I hope for the best, maybe it's just a spoof IE pop up or something harmless. We spend $2000 per year on our symantec endpoint security renewal so... hell, it should work right?

WRONG. I spent 30 minutes messing with this girls computer and had to grab a spare computer to put her on because it's going to take a good amount of time to get her system back up and running without this Personal Anti virus BU#$@*U( which has disabled task manager and regedit from running.


When I have a virus, my first course of action shouldn't be to install another anti virus product if i already have one that cost $2000. Symantec sucks... that is the point of this thread. Your product is meaningless if it can't do it's job.

End Solution?

I'm switching to VIPRE by sunbelt software for $10 per seat for 50 seats. So instead of $2000 it's going to be $500 and it's actually going to work as opposed to this crap symantec is selling.
