PROFILE |
 |
Symantec's grip on the software security market is as tight as Network Associates'; the two continually duke it out for top spot. Symantec makes security (Norton AntiVirus), desktop efficiency (Norton CleanSweep), and PC utility (Norton Ghost) software products. It also offers software that lets PC users work from remote locations (pcANYWHERE, WinFax PRO). Symantec is using acquisitions to balance its strength in the consumer sector with the lucrative business markets, particularly for Internet service providers. In 2000 the company sold its Internet tools division to BEA Systems, acquired L-3 Communications' network security operations, and bought rival network security software maker AXENT Technologies.
