Yowzer Guys - Mcafee will need to have a deep pocket and a very thick wallet to be able to swallow Symantec. You can hate em all you like but they are an extremely successful corporation worth billions - assets of almost US 6 billion and revenue for this year of US 2.5 billion

Very highly rated corporation:

Notable Recognitions:

Loved by the public, hated with a passion by the tech community.

Yea, Sygate is my FW of choice as well... Running 5.5 at the moment... I hope someone buys Symantec and lets Norton die...

That woudl be nice....
Maybe McAfee will buy Symantec
Then ESET will buy McAfee

Then both junk AV will die....

Then I'll buy ESET, and distribute everything for free....

Seriously though, then MS can buy them and distribute Sygate and NOD32 with Windows

Only problem with MS with their hands on Sygate and NOD32, they will tell them what they can and can not do and destroy both.
