Symantec launches its rootkit- when anti virus vendors promote spyware!

Symantec has belied the trust of all its antivirus customers in disaster recovery data centers and homes throughout the world- Symantec recently announced that it was using a rootkit as part of its Norton antivirus suite.

Rootkits are nothing but open invitations to hack and one wonders whether Symantec protects our PC from viruses or sides with the hackers and virus writers to make our PCs more vulnerable.

And I have hardly touched upon privacy concerns!
