Are you serious? Not that I'm a big paranoid, but they can't do anything
with hardware keyloggers, nor they detected a sofware keylogger that my
colleague has written in few hours. They don't analyse API hooks - Symantec
only protects against well-known software keylogger engines.

Symantec is a good company and nobody claims being better accross the board.
But it is a fact of life that Symantec doesn't do overly good job protecting
againts different kinds of annoying malware/adware/crapware (I'm not too
sure about rootkits). There is no perfect vendor.
