Is Norton Antivirus getting ready to QUIT?
There is a rumor that is going on about Norton getting ready to quit antivirus software. (because soon XP will have its own built-in antivirus system) ( they were one of the worst anyway ) Did any one read an article about that ? Any solid information ?

No way they will quit making AV's, they make way too much money off that. XP will not have a AV built in, its just a virus remover that runs when you update windows (i think).

Nope, haven't heard a peep. Must be just a rumor a FOAF started.

FOAF?? And there's no way they'd quit, they've put too much infrastructure into it

One would have thought Microsoft would have assimilated Norton years ago.

I doubt Norton will quit the AV business, I saw a video report where they should rooms and rooms of computers testing for viruses.
