I saw that. I was shocked as well. The article mention they have really trimmed and slimed the size of the package, and it's much zippier. I'm glad I guess, I actually don't want to see Symantec fail.

I was reading "Maximum PC" magazine and their review of 10 antivirus products. Symantec Internet Security 2009 came out on top because of its scanning speed and small size (two things I do not associate with Symantec) as well as ESET Smart Security for many of the same reasons. Granted, these are reviews based on home use... not corporate use with central distribution and tracking of clients. I've been using Trend Micro OfficeScan for antivirus for years, but sometimes I like to look over the side of the fence to see if the neighbors have anything better. I know this list is sponsored by the manufacturer of VIPRE, but I'm going to stick with more mature products for now while VIPRE ages. I also know the Symantec bashing that goes on on the list (I have contributed to it!), but I'm intrigued by something that is small and fast and might be ready to try. Anyone have any thoughts, particularly on Symantec's current corporate antivirus stuff?
