Yup, symantecs Norton could only improve because of PcTools code. Remeber the version 2009 of Norton came after Symantec acquired PcTools. They have made Norton great but Pc Tools is suffering. I think its time to close PcTools and integrate all their people into Norton.

We can also take Net Protector- India. But its more of an AV which claims it has realtime capabilities but actually uses an unlicensed version of Bitdefender and Clam AV scanner.

It isn't about the location the main HQ is it is where the birthplace of the company was as stated earlier Austrailian.
