here you can see the news from the Spybot. Apparently Symantec is claiming there to be some incompatibilities but cant prove them to exist. Now, me this doesnt surprise at all but some of you might want to take a look at the text.

Now, we have received more and more complaints over the year that Symantec would recommend to its customers to deinstall Spybot-S&D, because it would corrupt Norton Ghost images. We finally found their knowledgebase article about it, and were a bit surprised to see that while Symantec wants to keep any bad words about their own software out of the public, and deal with it honorably, they have no problems to post wrong facts about the products of their competition on their website without even getting into any contact about this so-called incompability.

QUOTE

With a second false accusation this year, and no valid explanation given, we can only assume that libel is Symantec's way of trying to force anti-spyware competition out of the market.
