Wow..I wasn't aware of this..Glad symantec has a External doc about it otherwise this would have become like PIFTS.exe

Let it call home, IMO, big whoop......... as my wife might say.
LEt's see - they gather info on all the failed installs and see how badly it's going, create fixes, release them in the next release, I see it as a step in the forces for good.
We use Google, don't we?
Sorry, Symantec can have all of our failed attempt logs, GO FOR IT! I'll even send them attempt 2, 3, 4 and 5 if they want.
Instead, I want to know how to block GOOGLE, YAHOO and others from harvesting info every time I touch their sites or do a search. THAT's my concern.

But at least they are up-front about a simple way to use THEIR product to block it!   :-)

 That's right..Installation Failure is one of the major concern for Symantec Endpoint. If gathering the logs will help us fixing this issue that will be great.

Yeah, this is probably a good thing, but I understand there are places that might want to block this type of activity just in case, and if so, its fairly easy to do.
