[edit] Windows-centric article?

There is a Mac version, but this article focuses on the Windows version. I don't know much about the Mac version, so could someone else please write this stuff up? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 05:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

There is now a section on the Mac version. Stephenchou0722 00:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Symantec AntiVirus Corporate, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Symantec AntiVirus is a completely different product, as far as I can tell. In fact, if you look on Symantec's website, there's a whole Symantec AntiVirus product line (e.g. Regular, Corporate, Enterprise, etc.).

Also, the scan engine in SAV is different from Norton. The file names are mostly the same, but SAV uses a lot less memory than Norton.

Another difference: Norton's detection rates are abysmal, while SAV's are excellent (IMHO).

I won't edit the article until I can get some confirmation on this, because I may be wrong.
