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

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time., August 29, 2005

By	Alvin W. Brinson "aelfwyne" (Beaumont, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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).

1.0 out of 5 stars Only if you are a capable IT person! Otherwise pass..., May 12, 2008

By	Lynnster (USA CT) - See all my reviews

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

This is for a business, so unless you are buying for that, I'd avoid this software. Our son bought 5 licenses for our home computers/laptops. All seemed ok until the licenses had to be renewed 6 weeks ago in March (2008). Their website said this program was replaced with EndPoint 11.0 so we bought that with 5 licenses. Not knowing this was a totally new program, I ended up having to get tech help to guide me thru the install, but the tech never had me reboot to check it before we hung up. And the next time I booted up, and every time since, I got a warning message saying if I continue the install, I may do irreparable harm to my OS as the software has not passed testing by Microsoft. So, for 6 weeks I needed to click on "stop installation" each time I turned on my laptop, all the while speaking with different tech people for help with this and a few other problems. One day, I accidentally clicked on "continue to install" instead of "stop installation" and the next thing I knew, my OS began to act up. The warning also said to contact the software mfr and ask for a Microsoft approved version. Symantec has yet to tell me why this is. I ended up having to save all impt files and do a reinstall of my OS, but I now get an alert every time I turn on AOL. Otherwise, it seems to be ok. We bought a one-year subscription but I'll look around when it expires before I renew next time.
