Hey DA :
From what I understand, 90% of the virus defense companies rely on SYMANTEC (Norton)
as their virus database ... Norton was around when the first PC virus was discovered, and was the company who did all the legwork for the cure to the same ...
To paraphrase ... Norton is to virus protection, what Adobe is to computer graphic design. Their merge with Symantec, allowed Norton to have the financial support of perhaps the worlds's single best software company, strengthening their position as the worlds's premier virus protection software.
