It's not the initial cost it's the forced renewals. SAVCE has none and is a legit
product if any vendor still has stock.
Question is what IS the business pack version? 5 licenses of CE that keep on working
or 5 licenses that time out in a year?
Your response makes no sense to me. Support is
As far as I remember, With SAV CE one'd pay an annual fee per system, so it's
not that different from a single user licence, except support is actually
existing with the
CE license :) The actual subscription period may vary with CE, though, e.g. a
five-year subscription. Price may vary.
1. No
Personally I like SAV CE 10.x since it's just AV keeps on updating w/o needing $$$
annual renewals. They can keep all that integrated crap IMHO and I refuse to use any
AV that holds customers hostage for ransom on updates after 1 year no matter how good.
So the issues I'm running into with a
I personally gave up on SAV ( which I really liked ) when it started telling me
most of my tools were *hacker* tools and started deleting them .(DUH) Ways to
stop it but it P'ed me off so none of my systems are currently using SAV 10.
FWIW McAfee does the same thing and does not ask permission.
Symantec has an exclusions list for stuff you want un-touched.
I find it easier to keep the files somewhere else.
(Or store them in encripted archives.)

Sorry, I forgot about using stuff other places. (I rarely do.)
(And about - how you would un-pack it there.)
But, I can't agree with the rest.
They have to draw the line in the sand somewhere.

NAV 2009+ does do micro updates
I took off about 5 years with Symantic products.
(I spent too much time fixing them for friends, etc...)
Then I got a Laptop with NIS2008, and after I got it running,
I actually liked it (them) again.
(It conflicted with other crapware that came with it from HP.)
I liked it so much I added it
Heh-he.
A firm alternative could be antivir.com. They're usually ahead of the rest of
the business (read: confusement), and will serve private users well, as in free
beer.

Btw, I still run the Norton/Symantec bulk on several of my desktops.
Reason?
