Well Symantec is a ghost of what it once was.. very few people have positive comments about most of their products. They destroyed BackupExec.

Pub intended, I hope.

Haven't you had enough of pubs and parking garages?

Interestingly enough, Richard at Webroot told me the only company he's seen that is a potential competitor in Webroot's style of product is products that are in the works at Symantec. Interesting stuff I thought.

Well Symantec is the biggest fish in that pond. They are competitive, potentially, with everyone in that space. At their size, they just are no matter what.

Webroot's approach to AV is pretty unique though.

I still like Trendmicro as much as some people hate them. I had more problems when I tried webroot than I ever did with full deployments of Trendmicro.

When did you last try Webroot?

I love webroot - super fast and super light weight - and a journaling feature.

Now if they only had a bundle like GFI, @Nic

I agree. If Webroot had a suite of utilities like GFI does, they'd be unstoppable.
