Is this site related to Symantec in any way?
If no, then why would any "propoganda" to make Symantec look popular (I dont see how this makes Symantec look anything but inept) be blamed on anyone but the non-biased author of this article?
Furthermore, the patch that was released was to fix the vulnerability in their programming, not a open door for some new virus. The same could be said for any other non-virus-releated software that has some piece of code in it that can be exploited.
You should have clicked the link "eEye Digital Security warned of the issue" before taking all that time to describe averages (which you said you wouldn't do, then described them anyway, and wrongly, I might add - see: mode) because in that page it actually says that SAV is installed on more than 200 million computers. Whether this is 'propoganda' or 'inflated averages' it doesnt really matter.
Why doesn't it matter? Because the whole preface of your post is that Symantec is trying to gather attention by saying they have a HUGE problem (what?!?!?!) when in all actuality, eEye praised Symantec for their quick response and initiation of automatic installed patches.
