The new anti-virus allegiance between Symantec Corp and IBM Corp is up and running in Australia. Symantec Australia has IBM’s antivirus (AV) customer database in its possession, and has brought in extra staff. Under the cross-licensing deal, IBM’s AV technology will be merged with Symantec’s. The new product will be marketed under the Norton AntiVirus brand. An initial merged product is expected to appear in 1999.
