PRE-SPLINTERED Symantec's Q2 revenue slips, net profit rises

Symantec is the most dreadful software company in existence, they've dragged Peter Norton's name through the mud by attaching it to all their awful software and have ruined many a good machine with their "utilities" (read: scareware, bloatware and antivirus that's worse than a virus). The idea that they are making a profit at all is offensive to anyone who's ever had to battle to remove the rubbish from a computer.
