Does this flaw make every statement on the Norton website misleading, false or deceptive?

Does this flaw make every statement on the Norton website misleading, false or deceptive?

Well maybe not every one, but perhaps 90% of them, such as:

- Rest easy with rock-solid Norton protection for all of your devices.

- Keep yourself and your devices safe with specialized protection.

- Your privacy. Your contacts. Your messages. All safe and sound.

- Live your life online without worry.

- You work. We protect. Let Norton look after your security

But not to worry- they do offer 'Guaranteed protection', and a 'Money back guarantee'.

But will Symantec end up covering even one total loss?

However the elephant in the room here is about when the changes that caused this might be slated to roll into Endpoint Protection. Clearly small-fish customers get the changes first, but are they Guinea-pigs before any roll out to SEP customers? I wonder if retail and SOHO users know they are providing such a service to Symantec and its Enterprise clientele! Despite all the claims about the product, small-fish customers clearly are not seeing Symantec actually protecting their data and their devices... quite the opposite.

Will SEP's next 12.1 release will be changed or delayed? Even if Norton 2015 and SEP 12.1 are unrelated or were forked long ago, they may both receive duplicated features and code...
