Suncorp has signed a three-year security and archiving contract with Symantec to protect 20,000 "locked down" Windows XP desktops and servers.
The next time you're buying antivirus software, don't go direct to Symantec or McAfee. Don't download free antivirus. And definitely don't see Harvey Norman. Ask your bank they're quite literally giving the stuff away.

You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.
