	Symantec Protects Handhelds Against Viruses - Technology News by TechWeb
		Symantec on Monday announced an anti-virus solution for Palm OS- and PocketPC-powered handhelds that provides both real-time and on-demand scanning against viruses, worms, and other malicious code.
		IT administrators will be able to push configuration changes to all handhelds in the enterprise from the console to, for example, disable the ability of the end user to turn off real-time virus scanning.
		Unlike the enterprise editions, hover, it does not integrate with the consumer version of Symantec's AntiVirus, so two separate downloads are necessary at the PC -- one for the desktop edition of the software, another for the PDA.

	Symantec on the attack over Vista security features \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2006-09-21 \| By Robert McMillan, IDG News ...
		While Symantec executives did accuse Microsoft of being more difficult to work with on Vista than with previous operating system introductions, they stopped short of accusing Microsoft of antitrust violations.
		Security vendors like Symantec are in a state of heightened sensitivity these days as they've begun to compete with Microsoft head-on, and the specter of further antitrust actions looms over Microsoft's every move in the security space.
		This doesn't happen with Windows XP because Symantec's software is able to automatically disable the Windows warnings, but with Vista users will have to turn off the Security Center themselves.
