MS Anti-Spyware Deleting Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus?

A report in the Washington Post claims that Microsoft support has had complaints that its (Beta) Anti-Spyware application is deleting parts of Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus. Oops. The latest virus definitions seem to believe that Norton is the password stealing Trojan called "PWS.Bancos.A" and so corrupt the Norton install.

Remember folks BETA means, "it should work, but don't count on it for mission critical usage".

For now, I suppose run one or the other until they sort this out. Or use AVG instead ;-)
