Security software vendor Symantec is seeking beta testers for its 2007 line of products, including Norton AntiVirus, Internet Security and Norton Save & Restore. The company also has a number of new products in the pipeline, which will be provided to the Symantec Beta Testing Team.

Interested users can complete the brief registration process on Symantec's Web site. The company has also added an electronic non-disclosure agreement to ease the process. "Participants are expected to remain active throughout a project lifecycle and communicate issues to Symantec team members," the company says.

naveen_reloaded, I have seen many posts by you and you always double post. This is called spamming. I am surprised no one has asked you to stop this yet.
See the little 'Edit' button alongside 'Quote' at the bottom of all your posts? Use that if you want to add something to your post. (In this case, 'another thing ia msorry for being too harsh....'.) You are not allowed to bump your own post within twenty four hours.
And BTW, this is NOT an advertisement. anandk does not work for Symantec and he has posted this to inform interested people that Symantec wants beta-testers for their products. And the beta-testers are not payed either (not sure about this though).

and in this thread:"make money for free damn seriuos"
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28693

this is why the thread was closed

Edit: FatBeing

Should've read the rules. This forum is NOT a money-making tool.

if this statement is true and wht is this thread is for....i am also in no way supporting to advertisement.... all i ask is for the "RULES SHOULD BE EQUAL" to all....should see any kind of partiallity since because its a well known company...

hey naveen_reloaded :
i dont work for symantec.
in fact, for the record, i dont work for anyone.
i am not even associated with the it industry.

as far as norton av is concerned, i'd probably be last one to advertise this resource hungry bloatware. whenever possible, i always urge and suggest freeware, btw.

as aryayush mentioned, this post is only for info....to whet the apetite of those beta testers, who like to experiment, and who like to 'live a l'il dangerously' !

so take a deep breath and chill...friend !
