Eric's Beijing Diary

Talked with a friend of mine who works for Symantec. He said Symantec is thinking about setting up a monitoring center in China to monitor Chinese viruses. Good idea. Maybe that will make it a better system in the future, but for the time being, I am going to stick with Kaspersky. I really don't blame Symantec. They can't make money in China, because so much software is pirated. So I can see why they don't want to invest a lot of research money into this country. But I don't think they have much choice. If they don't get on top of the situation pretty quick, they are going to be largely irrelevant in China.
