Hysteria on both sides. I'm pissed at Symantec for amateurish public relations on this, but also embarassed by the conspiracy theorists; there is no way, in 2009, that Symantec could get away with hiding objectionable code in their binaries. Part-time security people will dissect this program for sport; large enterprises already staff teams of people to evaluate the code they're deploying.

Granted. But there is no smoke without fire. I don't think its just a PR problem. If they could go to such lengths as to delete all those posts, there must be something in it other than the fact that they could not identify the problem, or they so stupid ?! I am intrigued to see how this unfolds !
