WinTech Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Symantec has made available, since 19th of December, a beta version of Symantec AntiVirus (Corporate Edition) for dowload. "Existing Symantec customers testing pre-release Windows Vista have requested Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition to protect their corporate environment while they conduct their testing. Symantec has released a new version of Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition that has been changed to run on the beta Windows operating system. This is not a beta of Symantec's Vista Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition product. The main feature set for this release is focused on protection of workstations, with some UI and manageability limitations that do not affect the product's protection capability on pre-release versions of Windows Vista. It will be available on December 19th for download from Symantec's FileConnect system. Full technical support will not be offered for Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition on pre-release versions of Microsoft Vista. Customers who call in for technical support will be directed to an online form where they can enter in information regarding the issue for submission to Symantec. The submissions will be reviewed by Symantec for appropriate escalation. In late 2006, Symantec will release a version of Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition that has been designed to leverage Windows Vista's new features. This version will be released concurrent to Microsoft's release of the Vista client operating system. Dates for the beta and final versions of this product are currently being determined."

PyX Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I hope they use the latest Vista SDK and technologies, it's supposed to be much faster with that than with their old coding.

L3thal Veteran Posted December 28, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 28, 2005 Indeed, Norton has to go. Symantec is light-years ahead of Norton products.

I didn't realize it was SAV and not Norton. It's weird. Same company having two completely different (one bloated, one good) AntiVirus products.

.Ark Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 In about 5-7 years it will be like this: remember Symantec? ewwwwww that was bad. May not be true if they improve... :/ Symantec is too big of a company now to just go down like that... If they see their sales drop, they will definately improve stuff... ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/413080-symantec-antivirus-corporate-edition-for-vista/#findComment-586980062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyarecomingforyou Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 SAC is a hell of a lot better than Norton but still isn't the pinnacle of antivirus programs as people on Neowin like to make out... I'd still choose NOD32 anyday. Still, if Symantec replaced Norton with SAC then that would be a lot better for everyone, though they'd need to add a few flashy logos here and there to appeal to the Average Joe - it's a shame because Norton used to be quite passable.
