Symantec offers fix for buggy Norton patch

Symantec has posted a software fix after hundreds of users reported problems with a buggy update of the company's flagship Norton AntiVirus software.
The buggy patch was released last Wednesday and was automatically installed on systems running Norton 2009 and Norton 360 using the company's LiveUpdate system. For most customers the install went fine, but for "less than 1 percent" of users, the update didn't work, according to Symantec Spokeswoman Cecilia Daclan. Hundreds of users have complained about the issue on the company's online discussion boards, she said.

Still, Norton 360 pulse updates are a great idea. The software updates arn't too bad although once Norton decided to send 2 updates requiring 2 separate reboots within minutes of one other. I'll consider another security provider when this subscription runs out. Time for something new.

Which Security Provider would you use next time?
Anti Virus plus or minus Firewall?
