If you look at the Q&A posted by Paul, you'll see that it's rather the
opposite: They don't report their status to WSC until you apply the
update that provides for the exception of WSC form the general rule. The
general rule is to obscure its status from malicious code. I'm still at
a loss to understand how that could be a problem. What, the code is
going to see that Norton is up to date, tuck its tail between its legs
and run the other way?

I'm not a Symantec basher, but if I was, I might respond to the effect
of "well, this system already has Symantec installed -- what can be
more malicious than that?"
