RE: Symantec to identify safe software by 'reputation'
derekbedwards Updated - 31st Oct 2008
This is all great and good for the general population, but what about corporate machines that run in-house software or other niche software that is only used by a very very small fraction of the total user base? Will all these applications suddenly be flagged as "suspicious?" Any developer or power user machine is certainly going to have a few applications installed that are not used by 99% of the population. It doesn't seem like they have thought this through, unless they only plan for novice users to install their security suite (which would seem to cause the accuracy of their ratings to plummet.)
