There goes the neigborhood. We've been using Sygate happily for years. One hesitates to speculate about what Symantec might do with Sygate in the future.

With M$'s typical approach to competition & their obvious intent to market their own spyware & AV, maybe Symantic has to start looking over it's shoulder. William Gates is aiming for world domination in the computer field and he's very nearly there.
