Product Description

Symantec AntiVirus™ 10.0 Business Packs protect your desktops and servers against viruses and spyware. Symantec AntiVirus is renowned for its ability to detect and automatically remove viruses, worms, and Trojan horses without interrupting users’ work. Now it does the same with spyware and adware—two increasing risks to businesses. Those programs can send passwords and other confidential information to outsiders without your knowledge. They can also degrade the performance of your computers, or even cause them to crash. Symantec AntiVirus 10.0 stops those programs from installing themselves or running. As always, it also automatically detects and removes viruses from POP3 email messages and attachments, Internet downloads, and other files. It even repairs changes that past viruses or spyware programs have made. And it includes tamper protection to prevent malicious programs from disabling your computers’ virus defenses. Symantec AntiVirus is designed for easy, centralized management of the virus protection on multiple desktops and file servers. And Symantec’s LiveUpdate™ technology can keep those defenses current against emerging threats by automatically downloading the latest protection updates from Symantec™ Security Response, the world’s leading Internet security research and support organization. Protect your desktops and file servers with Symantec AntiVirus.

This review is from: Symantec Antivirus 10.0 Business Pack - 5 User (CD-ROM)

For the second time in two months, a trojan that is known to the majority of all other AV vendors, but not known to Symantec, has invaded my network. This time it was a variant of Rbot/SDbot. I had to download AVG AntiVirus to remove this item. Symantec was set to auto-protect and nightly scans, yet this trojan was merrily uploading away until I noticed it in my traffic monitor.

According to SAV, I've never been infected by anything. Batting 0 for 2 now, that's not a good track record for me. It's going in the trash bin. I'm just glad I'm not the one who paid for it - my university provides it with a corporate license (this is the closest version I could find to review).
