I honestly have no clue why this stock is going up. Maybe they are doing strong sales on the corporate security side.

Now here's my own personal opinion...I've used Symantec anti-virus software in my computers over the years and they are nothing to write home about. The after market PC anti virus software market is a rip off in general that's why I use the freeware anti-virus programs available. They do just a good job and you won't have to pay Symantec or any other company for expensive updates each year. Microsoft even has the arrogance to offer their own version of Anti-virus protection at an additional charge to customers. They should simply include these security updates as part of Windows and not charge extra. I think Symantec and other software companies have really pulled the wool over the eyes of the computer user for years. Unfortunately, it isn't going to change anytime soon.
