Any news on weather or not there will be an SP5 or will there just be a security update pack? Does anyone have any idea what may be included in this, i suppose the inclusion of the Windows firewall is unlikely. Cheers. "Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar." - Sigmund Freud

We are using Symantec corp 9 on about 400 PC's and i've found it to be great. The only problem i'm having is that it's really slowing down about 30 PC's that are of a lower spec than the others, i've put them into a separate group and am thinking about setting the Heuristics to a lower setting...
