Another update embarrassment as rival software pops up.
After the recent damaging
false positive incident
in China, which has led
Symantec
to offer free software to those hit by the machine-crashing fault, another update-related issue has caused a rather less serious embarrassment to the company.
A presenter showing off the details of a new
Symantec
product range to a group of important clients was greeted with howls of laughter during his speech, when the machine he was using to run the
PowerPoint
presentation started an update of its anti-virus software – provided by rival
Kaspersky Lab
.
Kaspersky
has tastefully
declined to comment
(scroll down) on the incident, but details can be found at
ComputerWeekly
