Norton 360 Version 4.0 beta starts

October 28, 2009

I just got my email for the new Norton 3.0 Beta.  However I am going to have to pass on this one.  I actually probably made a mistake on endorsing it previously (before this blog) but I won’t make it again.  For starters it has a bad history of false positives.  In my opinion false positives are actually worse than a negative because they can remove legitimate files if it is setup to automatically remove them.  There is also no way to submit a false positive for analysis.  Even corporate would not give me a proper response on this.  For those that didn’t get the email here is a copy.

Thawte planning to discontinue Web of Trust program

October 13, 2009

It appears that Thawte will be discontinuing their Web of Trust program.  At least that is what the email I got from them is indicating.  As part of their appreciation they are providing me with a replacement 2 year certificate from Verisign.  That is good and everything.  I was also offered to get either an SSL certificate or code signing certificate of my choice.  I’ll definitely be taking up on that.  Specifically the SSL certificate with Extended Validation since it is so expensive and that will cover me for the next 2 years.  I’ll have to make the call tomorrow to get it all set up if I remember to.
