Agreed, Symantec and Norton are useless. When I ran tech dept for a school I moved from symantec precisely because of all the viruses it missed. I did find Sophos to do a fair job, and the central command center made it easy to have the machines start at 0600, virus scan, etc at 0615 ready to go by 0700 when the teachers started filing in.

If I purchase a product because it will work with X. And it does not work with X, then I have been harmed. I am out the money paid for the product. If the vendor promised me the product would work with X, and knew the product would, in fact, fail horribly with X. That's usually called fraud. In any event, I am due a full refund of the purchase price, and potentially some recompense for the time lost and aggravation caused by the vendor being a dipshit. Generally speaking, if a product fails to perform as a vendor advertises, they will refund your money *and* offer you some form of apology, be it verbal, or in the form of monetary gain.(gift cards, 10% off next purchase and the like)
