Talk about free advertisement for a useless anti-virus software. Symantec antivirus sucks if it was only after the breach occurred that it notified the user of a virus. But in general Symantec antivirus is a system resource hog anyway.

They are using the enterprise/corporate version which uses far less resources. Anyways I can't tell if Best Western is just trying to cover their butt and lie about the affected count or if earlier reports were way over estimated.
