OT: QuickBooks & Norton antivirus

[Fairlight]

At Wed, Oct 05, 2011 at 10:40:56AM -0400 or thereabouts, 
suspect Richard Kreiss was observed uttering:
> FYI

> One of my clients is running the server edition of QuickBooks and recently
> installed the new server edition on Norton Antivirus.
> 
> They could not use QuickBooks as Norton read the data file as a danger to

> 
> To solve the problem, they purchased a small separate server for QuickBooks
> and are using a different antivirus program.

That is absurd.  Drop Norton and get A/V that doesn't blatantly suck.

FWIW, I've never seen A/V without exclusion lists, and think they didn't
RTFM or look hard enough.

Norton is still horrible, though.
