What’s behind Symantec’s accident against Windows XP

In May, Symantec antivirus program wrongly identified two system files in Windows XP Chinese version as Trojan and paralyzed the users’ system by removing these files. Some Chinese users have filed complaints against Norton and sought for compensation.

However, network security experts in China have already suspected that Symantec got it right that these two files are indeed intentionally-installed backdoor by Microsoft to spoof the Chinese computer system.

    I experimented with taking a look at your blog on my iphone and the structure doesnt seem to be right. Might want to check it out on WAP as well as it seems most cellular phone layouts are not really working with your web page.
