Trufflette, Milberg Weiss, et al has filed suit against Symantec:

Symantec Is Sued Over Software
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Symantec is being sued over alleged defects in computer software that it developed, a law firm representing people who bought the product said today.

Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach said in a statement that it filed the suit in Superior Court, County of Santa Clara, Calif.

It said the suit was filed on behalf of plaintiffs who bought the company's Norton AntiVirus software prior to Version 4.0.

"The complaint alleges breach of implied warranty and related claims in connection with defective computer software developed and sold by Symantec," the law firm said.

"The defects concern the inability of the Norton AntiVirus software (prior to Version 4.0, which was introduced in September 1997) to recognize and process dates starting in the year 2000," it said.

The law firm said Symantec was charging customers a fee for an upgrade of the software to solve the problem.

Symantec officials were not immediately available for comment.

The company provides application and system software products for personal computers.

------
Symantec creates an upgraded version of Anti-virus that fixes the
Year 2000 problem and gets sued! While the suit against Iomega may
have a inkling of merit, this suit is pure BS...next thing you know
they'll sue Microsoft after Windows 98 is released saying that
they are charging for an upgrade for a defective program. <g>
