[Web4lib] Symantec anti-virus

[Robin]

The only insight I can offer - which may not be helpful - is that I
discontinued use of Symantec about 3 years ago due to persistent errors
and failures. And that applies to both their AV software and to such
technical support as I could get from them.

I know how great the Tech Soup offers are, but in this case, I fear, you
get what you pay for.

FYI we made a very smooth transition too Sophos AV and are in general
very happy with it. We have occasionally had glitches or conflicts wit
other products but these days that seems to be the norm with all the
complex software out there; at least when we've had problems, they've
been resolved pretty quickly.

Subject: [Web4lib] Symantec anti-virus

Recently Symantec comes up as disables on boot of pc.
It goes away after the machine is fully loaded, but I'm beginning to
wonder.
We're still on 10.1
I'm considering a new product, but the 10.2 version is a steal for our 
size libraries from
Tech Soup.
Any helpful comments?
Much appreciated
