Is symantec.com Safe?

Fornisce certificati validi a ditte (per esempio Blue Coat) che prosperano compiendo hacking di dubbia moralità, concedendo così loro un potenziale enorme per attacchi (del tipo "man in the middle") senza che gli utenti possano accorgersene, distruggendo così l'affidabilità del sistema dei certificati. It provides valid certificates to companies (e.g. Blue Coat) that thrive performing hacking of dubious morality, thus giving them enormous potential for attacks (such as "man in the middle") without users realizing it can, thus destroying the system reliability certificates.

Horrible business..I order five licences and sent four out to other users. They have no phone service and only can be contacted by chat, which takes you to India. I could not send the last licence because my Norton claim I had no browser working..WTH! I spend nearly one hour on chat and with the rep, who needed to check my hard drive which would take up to 20 minutes..He started to go into my system and the hard drive!! And for what, I ask? I told him I was leaving my desk and would return in 20 minutes and when I did, Raj had closed the chat line!! He closed the chat and now I have to start all over again..they expect you to sit endless and answer very dumb questions. It took 3 1/2 hours to fix the issue, which was that I did not have a default browser..WTH! I had sent four other licences with the same settings, which was over a week earlier.. No more downloads, no more Norton.

The company list IP-segments negative without they are sending spam! We have more times create a request for investigation! The problem is, they use OLD datas and they not scan good the IP-segment-blocks! Expl. we have many IP-blocks with only 4 or 8 IPs, registered on own RIPE-ID, but they look for the complete RIRs and to IPs that are not ours! Thats things from the the 70th as a company get many IP-segments, but today as the IPs goes out in smaller blocks, expl. /32 - /31 - /30 - /29 and so on, thats is an old strategy and this is discrimened, when they block us, without sending spam, only why nearbears send spam! But their products expl. Norton etc. are not good to, as a good virus scanner! We had before use this products and today we know only kaspersky has a perfect virus scanner!

While their security suite is legit and useful, Symantec gives their "Trust Seals" to almost everybody who pays for it without checking them first. And effect of these practices are various shady websites with a Symantec Trust Seal which deliver either malware or potentially unwanted programs.

Symantec provided a 'trust seal' for the site "mylife.com", which is: Scam Spam Hate, discrimination Malware or viruses Misleading claims or unethical

They give a trust seal in an lot of unsafe sites (SPAM, scams, etc.). For example see this scoreboards: ***** ***** ***** ***** etc........
