    I agree the Mac OS has its perks. Now that they are using Intel chips, I can't wait until they start selling the OS separately so I can build custom solutions without using Apples trendy and expensive proprietory hardware.

    I have sold Norton for over 10 years. I have switched almost exclusively to Kaspersky. Have had great success with their product. Don't be alarmed when it finds all the spyware that your current products have been missing.

    I think that Symantec is starting to loose their edge. The smaller companies like Sophos and Kaspersky already have higher detection rates and use a lot less system resources. As a very loyal user of Norton Antivirus, I am sorry to say I have already switched a vast majority of business to Kaspersky. Symantec has 2 choices:
    1. Innovate some new product that is small and nimble yet provides excellent detection rates against not only viruses, but also malware, spyware, and rootkits.

    2. Fall behind in the consumer market and rely on expensive security appliances in the small to medium business market to survive.
