Symantec Screwup Is 'Worse Than Any Virus'

A recent update from Symantec Security Response incorrectly tagged a company’s program as a virus and cut off the Internet access of its customers. Needless to say the company and its customers weren’t happy.

Symantec on Monday released a virus definition update that incorrectly identified Solid Oak's CyberSitter filtering program as a virus. Depending on the version of Symantec's Norton Antivirus product that Solid Oak customers were running, CyberSitter files were either deleted or banned from use by Norton, according to Solid Oak.

Speaking of symantic screwups. We have LC5 which is a password hashing program MADE BY SYMANTEC. 2 weekends ago, norton antivirus flagged it and deleted it. Symantec is retarded sometimes.
