Symantec NIS Security Program Update, incompatible with Spybot S&D v1.4!

[Cold Fusion]

"Interesting" update:
NAV now checks for updates every 240 minutes by default, and can be changed to every 60 minutes like Kaspersky. :)
This update breaks/"fixes" a common pirated "Phone Activate Code." :mad:
The user now has the ability to control the amount of disk space used to cache the various updates. :scratch:
Most disturbing is that NIS now appears to be incompatible with Spybot S&D v1.4! It requests an uninstall of Spybot. :mad:

This should be the final nail in Symantec's Bloatware coffin, IMHO.

Hi there.
Thank you for the information.

I have never recommended Norton Antivirus to anyone, having experienced and seen too many problems in forums with what I consider to be bloatware.
But that's my personal opinion. ;)

The way Symantec tries to get into anti-spyware...... and if they can't do it with quality, they'll try with libel.
