claiming for months that the anti-spyware program Spybot-Search & Destroy
corrupts Norton Ghost images. Spybot has tried to convince them this is a
false positive. After having been ignored, and this is the second time
Symantec has claimed a false positive against Spybot, the makers of Spybot
have gone public <http://safer-networking.org/en/news/2006-01-07.html> .
They claim that rather than compete fairly with quality products, Symantec
is resorting to libel."
