Norton Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware

Symantec today released their Anti-Spyware application - Norton Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware Edition. I downloaded it and was in the middle of the install when the following dialogue box appeared:


>Well, thanks but no - what makes them think I want their damn anti-virus? Perhaps if I had no protection this would be a treat but to have them suggest I uninstall my present Anti-virus seems a tad arrogant to me. Sorry Symantec, you're tactic is not appreciated and therefore I will not be installing your application until it is a stand-alone anti-spyware client.
