Microsoft deletes Norton

Microsoft deletes Norton:

"Microsoft, has released a product which detects one of its rivals as spyware and then deletes them.
A recent update to Microsoft's anti-spyware application flags Norton as a password-stealing program and prompts users to remove it.
For some reason, known only to the Vole, the latest spyware definitions file from Microsoft '(version 5805, 5807) detects Symantec Antivirus files as PWS.Bancos.A (Password Stealer).'
If anyone tried to remove the flagged file, Norton gets hopelessly corrupted, throws its toys out of the pram and refuses to work."
