Symantec Corp , the makers of Norton AntiVirus and other security-related products
has acquired Sygate. Seems like Norton top-brass are not happy with its
security product 'Norton Internet Security 2006'. Of late Norton is at the
receiving end when it comes to Viruses!! .Sygate , which has an excellent
firewall product called 'Sygate Personal Firewall' (free for personal or non-commercial use) available from www.sygate.com and other security-related products are doing the rounds these days.
Way to go Sygate, sorry Symantec!!
