Eh, we have know norton was crap for a long time. What I didnt get was what mac owner is stupid enough to use norton?

damn. i wish my subscription would end -_-

There was some other av scanner awhile back, well maybe a few years ago that had some sort of a problem with RAR archives, especially malformed ones which were intentially used to harm a system -- something about just scanning the files alone could cause a system-wide infection or data destruction.

I don't like it when something as good as the RAR archive format get's put into some other companies failings/shortcomings, sort of like how UPX unjustly get's bad publicity just because malware writters compress their malicious software.
