Is Symantec and ZDnet Teaming Up?

by kwell_net22 . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

I have been using Symantec for about a year now, the products are good. To day when I started Nortons Web services, I went to a ZDnet site. It appears Symantec has teamed with ZDnet to provide the S/W updates now. The concern I have is that ZDnetwant private information that goes beyond identifying that I am a licensed user of the NORTON program. ZDnet will now access a users computer system to identify H/W and S/W to include scanning cookie data and use it for demographics.

What do you think of this?
Has Symantec gone beyond providing the quality support we have paid for and now selling data without our clear knowledge?
