My guess is that they've tested this one pretty thoroughly.

Probably as well as they tested the product itself. As in, not at all. It's a wonder how any of the anti-virus vendors survive when they regularly bork machines on updates. It seems that they are in the grip of that wonderful theory "extreme programming".

Symantec has been in a downward spiral since the late 90's. They used to have good products, but all of them have morphed into incredible pieces of trashware.
