Since Symantec pcAnywhere is also a Mac product, then it's not completely irrelevant.

I was just commenting non the previous post.

But if you want to be pedantic, symantec makes such a deplorable av suite that they shouldnt be trusted to make any other software.

Long point short, All symantec software is dreadful.
