Configuring Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition
Product Description
This is the only book that will teach system administrators how to configure, deploy, and troubleshoot Symantec Enterprise Edition in an enterprise network. The book will reflect Symantec’s philosophy of “Centralized Antivirus Management.” For the same reasons that Symantec bundled together these previously separate products, the book will provide system administrators with a holistic approach to defending their networks from malicious viruses. This book will also serve as a Study Guide for those pursuing Symantec Product Specialist Certifications.
Configuring Symantec AntiVirus Enterprise Edition contains step-by-step instructions on how to Design, implement and leverage the Symantec Suite of products in the enterprise.
Ø First book published on market leading product and fast-growing certification. Despite the popularity of Symantec’s products and Symantec Product Specialist certifications, there are no other books published or announced.
Ø Less expensive substitute for costly on-sight training. Symantec offers week-long courses on this same product for approximately $2,500. This book covers essentially the same content at a fraction of the price, and will be an attractive alternative for network engineers and administrators.
Ø Free practice exam from solutions@syngress.com. Syngress will offer a free Symantec Product Specialist Certification practice exam from syngress.com. Comparable exams are priced from $39.95 to $59.95.

Intel sells anti-virus business, waits 12 years, buys anti-virus business
The big news in the IT security industry today is the announcement that Intel plans to acquire McAfee for a jaw-dropping $7.68 billion.
Yes, that’s “billion”. Oh to have such pocket money.
Of course, those of us with long memories will know that Intel is no stranger to the computer security industry.
Indeed they used to have their own anti-virus product (Intel LanDesk Virus Protect) which they sold to Symantec in 1998.
Now, Intel is purchasing Symantec’s arch-enemy McAfee and re-entering the business.
It’s like they’re dancing the hokey-cokey. # You put your left leg in, your left leg out, in out in out, and you shake it all about… #
It’s too early to say what the impact of this acquisition will mean to McAfee’s customers, but there will no doubt be some happy McAfee shareholders today as the price rises to its highest level since the late 1990s.
