But Los Angeles County was not as affected as neighboring Riverside County and Orange County, for it was those two counties that suffered the worst floods.
However, the flood was not as bad as it could have been.
Fourteen flood control dams in the mountains and around the Los Angeles area held back huge amounts of water, which would otherwise add to the flood.
These dams included the Hansen Dam, Big Tujunga Dam, and San Gabriel No.
1 and No.
At its peak, the Los Angeles River's flow was about 38,000 cubic feet (1,076 cubic meters) per second.
The  nearby San Gabriel River's flow, though, approached 100,000 cubic feet (2,832 cubic meters) per second.
Most flooded of all was the "crazy-mad" Santa Ana River, which looked like a "slightly smaller version of the Mississippi."
Many restoration efforts to convert the river from a concrete-lined channel back to its natural state have been proposed recently.
Also, some river conservation groups, most notably Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) have been created.
The Los Angeles River Master Plan was created in 1991 as a plan to restore a large stretch of the river and one of its large tributaries, the Tujunga Wash. Part of the incentive for the project is because the Great Wall of Los Angeles, one of the largest murals in the world, is painted on the wall of the Tujunga Wash. Other than that, the plan seeks to improve recreation, health, property value, environment, and education in the communities surrounding the river; by building a series of parks.
This helps to increase the open space available in Los Angeles; its open space percentage is uncharacteristically low.
For example, the city of Boston has 9% open space, over twice as much as Los Angeles' 4% open space.
Notably, the City of Los Angeles agreed in 2007, by a 12-0 vote, to spend some $2 billion USD over the next 50 years.
The money will be used to fund over 200 separate projects, including parks, walkways, and pedestrian bridges; along a  stretch of the river.
Some factories and other buildings near the river will be removed so houses can be built closer to the river.

Fantasia is the third animated movie produced by Walt Disney Productions.
It was first released on February 29, 1940.
It was originally released by itself instead of RKO Pictures, which was the distributor of Disney from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, until Peter Pan.
Fantasia contains eight classical music pieces.
One of them is from Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring.
It tells the story of life on Earth until the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Another famous work that appears in the movie is Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor for organ.
A sequel to this movie, Fantasia 2000, was released in 1999.
The Santa Ana River is a major river in southern California, in the United States.
It begins in San Bernardino County and flows west about  to the Pacific Ocean, through Riverside and Orange counties.
It has a watershed of 2,650 square miles (6,863 square kilometers).
Its biggest tributaries include Lytle, Temescal, and Santiago Creeks.
Like the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers to the north, it is lined with concrete in many places.
A notable feature on the river is the Seven Oaks Dam, which, at  tall, is the 6th tallest dam in the United States.

Aliso Creek is a small river in Orange County, California, in the United States.
From its source in the Santa Ana Mountains to its mouth at the Pacific Ocean, it is about  long.
Its watershed is about 30.4 square miles (79 square kilometers) in size.
The name comes from the Spanish word "aliso", meaning alder.
Six tributaries join it along its length, which are Wood Canyon Creek, Sulphur Creek, the Dairy Fork, Aliso Hills Channel, Munger Creek and English Canyon.
The creek is heavily polluted.
Urban runoff from streets in cities around the creek flow into it, contributing to an increased year-round flow and excessive pollution.
To this day, the creek is still a big problem in terms of pollution at its mouth, the popular Aliso Creek Beach.
San Juan Creek is a small river in Orange County, California.
Its watershed occupies 133.9 square miles (357 square kilometers).
It begins in the Santa Ana Mountains, and ends, after a journey winding west and south, in the Pacific Ocean in Dana Point.
Its biggest tributary, Trabuco Creek or Arroyo Trabuco, is about  long, flowing south from the Santa Ana Mountains into San Juan Creek.
Oso Creek is a smaller tributary to Trabuco Creek, but has a lot of water in it the entire year.
Many people say they found a dead bear on the Oso Creek.
Bakersfield is a large city in the state of California, in the United States.
It the county seat of Kern County, in the southern part of the Central Valley.
In the 2010 census, 347,483 people lived there.
Bakersfield is the 11th largest city in California, the 3rd largest inland city in California, and the 57th largest in the United States.
It is also the 2nd largest in the United States that is not directly connected to an interstate.
Agriculture, petroleum processing, and manufacturing are the main economy of the city.
State Route 99, State Route 58, and State Route 178 run through or pass by the city.
One major rail station, Bakersfield Station, is in the city.
Meadows Field Airport is the airport that serves Bakersfield, and the rest of Kern County.
Windows Mail is an email client included with Windows Vista.
It will not be included with any future releases of Windows because of the new Windows Live Mail.

Unlike Outlook Express, Windows Mail is not included with Windows Internet Explorer.
A chord progression is a part of music, made up of several chords played one after another.
Chord progressions are important for people who write songs or play musical instruments that can play chords, such as the guitar.
Chord progressions are used in many types of music.
How a piece of music sounds has to do with its chord progression.
Relation to the circle of fifths
The circle of fifths is an idea in music theory that has to do with keys.
It also has to do with chord progressions.
If you have a song with the chord progression G, C, D, you can see those chords are right next to each other in the circle.
So if you want to play the same song in a different key, you can use any other three chords right next to each other.
This works for any chord progression.
Common chord progressions
One of the most used chord progressions is based on the first, fourth and fifth notes of a major scale.
In the key of C, these are the C, F, and G chords.
This progression is used in many simple songs.
Since these songs have only three chords, they are sometimes called three-chord songs.
Many country, blues, rock, pop and punk songs are three-chord songs.
Interstate 81 is a north-south interstate in the eastern United States.
It runs from Dandridge, Tennessee in the south to Wellesley Island, New York in the north; for a total distance for about .
It follows the Appalachian Mountains for nearly its entire length.
Interstate 81 begins in Tennessee at Interstate 40 in Dandridge.
The route follows the Appalachian Mountains for much of its route through Tennessee and Virginia, serving such cities as the twin cities of Bristol, Tennessee and Bristol, Virginia, Roanoke, Blacksburg, Lexington, Staunton, Harrisonburg, and Winchester.
In Harrisonburg, I-81 cuts through the James Madison University campus.
It follows its older counterpart, U.S. Route 11, for its entire length in Virginia.
Interstate 81 briefly enters the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, serving the city of Martinsburg.
It then crosses the state of Maryland at one of its narrowest points, passing through the "Hub City" of Hagerstown where it crosses many other routes.
Interstate 81 forms a major north–south corridor through the state of Pennsylvania, serving the boroughs of Chambersburg and Carlisle, where it meets the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
But I-81 does not directly interchange with it (motorists must use US 11 to connect).
Around the state capital of Harrisburg, the route forms the northeastern section of Pennsylvania's Capital Beltway.
The route then travels northeast toward the Wyoming Valley, where it serves the cities of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, then heads north through the Endless Mountains region toward the state line.
Although it is signed as a north–south highway, it is distinctly northeast–southwest and occasionally east–west throughout the state.
Interstate 81 enters the state of New York near Binghamton.
It follows U.S. Route 11 in a north–south direction, through much of the state.
It serves the cities of Syracuse (where it intersects the New York State Thruway), and Watertown.
The route ends at the Canadian border at the Thousand Islands Bridge, where it crosses the St. Lawrence River, continuing as a short connector, Highway 137, which serves the Thousand Islands Parkway and Highway 401.
The Interstate 81 Corridor Coalition, a six-state coalition, was organized to handle issues along Interstate 81, such as truck traffic and air pollution.
As of October 15, 2008, this commission has met twice.

Evaporation occurs from geographic sinks.
Bougainvillea is a genus of flowering plants.it is often grown as gardening plant in warm climate.
Bougainvilleas first came from South America.
They are climbing plants grown for decoration in tropical countries, and in the southern United States.it is Grenada's national flower.
Farther north, the plants are grown in greenhouses.
The bougainvillea is named for the French navigator Louis-Autoine de Bougainville.
Bougainvillea, a tropical vine known for the beauty of the large, colorful bracts (modified leaves) which surround its flowers.
The flowers are small and plain.
The bracts may be magenta, purple, yellow, or crimson, and are one inch (2.5 cm) or more long.
One common type of bougainvillea has a climbing stem that sometimes reaches a length of 100 feet (30 m).it's has a nickname the "paper flower " due to it's to thin and papery bracts.

Conficker (also known as Downup, Downadup and Kido) is a computer worm that first showed up in October 2008.
It targeted the Microsoft Windows operating system.
It is not known where the name "conficker" came from.
"Internet experts" have guessed that the name comes from a mix between two different words: "configure" and "ficken", the German word for "fuck".
Conficker was believed to be the worst computer worm since the SQL slammer worm in 2003.
It was estimated 15 million computers were infected with Conficker.
The virus was supposed to get worse on April 1, 2009, which caused many people to worry about it.
However, there were no bad effects.

The approach has been an ongoing "theme in the history of western thought from the Ancient Greeks to the present day".
The term was used in the early 19th century by the philosopher and founding sociologist, Auguste Comte.
Comte, a sociologist, believed in a three part model of human knowledge.
He claimed that it had gone through phases.
There was a religious worldview, and a metaphysical worldview before the scientific interpretation was considered.
The positivistic method should, said Comte, no longer aim at a revealing ultimate causes.
It should rather focus on how data are linked together.
Scientists would simply interpret these correlations.
All human knowledge could only be relatively true, so Comte with a look at these interpretations.
Late 19th-century philosophers of the sciences from Heinrich Hertz to Ernst Mach eventually discussed specific requirements of operable scientific theories and physical laws such as the predictability of results in experiments and the functionality of laws in computations.
The unity of the scientific method – i.e., the logic of inquiry is the same across all sciences (social and natural).
The aim of science is to explain and predict.
Scientific knowledge is testable.
Research can be proved only by empirical means, not arguments alone.
Research should be mostly deductive, i.e. deductive logic is used to develop statements that can be tested (theory leads to hypothesis which in turn leads to discovery and/or study of evidence).
Research should be observable with the human senses.
Arguments are not enough, sheer belief is out of the question.
Science does not equal common sense.
Researchers must be careful not to let common sense bias their research.
Science should be as value-neutral as possible.
The ultimate goal of science is to produce knowledge, regardless of any politics, morals, or values held by those involved in the research.
Science should be judged by logic, and ideally produce universal conditionals.
Experiments must be able to verify a statement anytime and anywhere.
Unlike materialists positivists do not make any claims about a primary substance such as matter.
They assume that we have data and that we interpret the data.
The idea of a material world with three dimensions is, for positivists, just a good model to handle the experiences of everyday life.
If astronomy has to deal with more complex data that cannot be handled consistently in such a model, they will have to think of a different model.
Early 20th-century positivists like Ernst Mach said that the best model is the most "economical" model, that is the model we can use best in calculations and predictions.
The idea that all physical laws could be useful dates back to Auguste Comte.
Comte said that all theories were merely "relatively" true, and that even Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation was strictly speaking nothing but a social convention  true until new data force us to find a better theory.
This was an important development in early 20th century Vienna, led by Moritz Schlick and widened by Ludwig Wittgenstein.
The logical positivists held that statements that cannot be proven true or false have no meaning.
It held not only that propositions were true or false, but that statements which could not be shown to be either true or false were meaningless.
Thus statements like "There is a God" or "There is no God" are not true or false, but meaningless because they cannot be proven or disproven.
Operationalism
This was the idea of P.W. Bridgman, Nobel Prize in Physics for 1946.
It was that a concept in science was defined by the way one measured it.
If one thinks of electron spin, or the curvature of space, these are not everyday ideas.
In everyday life, electrons are not seen, and neither is space seen to be curved.
They rest on the results of experiments which measured fundamental properties like time, light, mass, electrical charge, and so on.
What Bridgman meant is that their meaning is in the way the measurements were done.
The special theory of relativity depended on operational definitions for simultaneous events and distance, that is, providing the operations needed to define these terms.
In quantum mechanics the notion of operational definitions is closely related to the idea of "observables", that is, definitions based upon what can be measured.
Operationalism is found in other sciences.
In psychology, intelligence has often been defined as the result of measurement by a standard IQ test.
Obviously that is controversial, because our everyday understanding of the word "intelligence" is much more complex and varied.
Comtean positivism
19th-century positivism – or "Comtean positivism" – included the outline of a proposed development.
This would lead from primitive explanations, through religious thought and monotheism, to positivism as the universal theory and scientific practice.
The theory was very influential among cultural historians.
It led Comte to the creation a "religion of humanity" as a secular substitute for all religions.
This caused an outcry among scientists, who were ready to adopt the scientific premises but not interested in creating a substitute religion.
One can today still visit temples in Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, and  Curitiba in Brazil, and Paris built by 19th-century Comtean positivists.
London had a society of positivists.
The Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was strongly interested in positivism as the basis of a secularisation of the nation, he was trying to build.

Norton Internet Security is a security program made by Symantec Corporation that protects computers from malware.
It includes antivirus, firewall, e-mail filter, and phishing protection software.
It also includes features like parental controls which can be downloaded as an add-on.
Norton Internet Security was available from a download, a box copy in a store, or from a company that is an OEM.
Norton Internet Security and its sister product, Norton AntiVirus, combined, held a 61% antivirus market share as of 2007.
Major competitors in terms of market share include antivirus products from vendors CA, Trend Micro, and Kaspersky Lab.
Norton Internet Security runs on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Version 22.5.2.15 was the last update available for Norton Internet Security for Windows computers.
The latest Mac version is 4.0.
Windows edition
In August 1990 Symantec acquired Peter Norton Computing from Peter Norton.
Norton and his company developed various utilities, or applications for DOS.
Symantec continued the development of acquired technologies.
The technologies are marketed under the name of "Norton", with the tagline "from Symantec".
Norton's crossed-arm pose, a registered U.S. trademark, was featured on Norton product packaging.
However, his pose was later moved to the spine of the packaging, and later dropped altogether.
Product activation was introduced to Norton Internet Security 2004, addressing the estimated 3.6 million counterfeit Norton products sold.
A alphanumeric code is generated to identify a computer's configuration, which ties in with the product key.
Users are allowed to activate their product five times with the same product key.
Spyware detection and removal was introduced to the 2005 version for Windows, with the tagline "Antispyware Edition".
Existing users of the 2006, 2007, or 2008 versions can upgrade to the latest 2009 version without buying a new subscription.
Upgrading will preserve the number of days left on a user's subscription.
Version 2006 (13.0)
Norton Internet Security 2006 debuted on September 26, 2005.
The main graphical user interface, dubbed the Norton Protection Center aggregates all information in a central location.
CNET reports the Norton Protection Center, while useful, attempts to advertise additional products and services from Symantec.
To help identify zero-day malware, Bloodhound technology disassembles and scans application code for possibly malicious instructions.
Norton can revert Internet Explorer homepage hijacking attempts and block advertisements.
Users are warned of unauthorized changes to Internet Explorer's homepage, and given an option to revert such changes.
Advertisement blocking rewrites a website's HTML to prevent advertisements from being displayed.
E-mail filtering scans POP3 mail for spam.
It can be configured using either a blacklist or a whitelist.
Users can also correct Norton's classification of e-mail on an individual basis.
Parental controls, bundled with this release, allow users to block specific sites, block certain programs from accessing the Internet, and restrict newsgroup access.
Norton can block the transmission of confidential information.
Users can enter information which are not to be communicated via instant messenger, e-mail, or webforms.
CNET noted this version's noticeable toll on system performance, especially when opening files across a network or on a removable disk.
Oli Warner also noted Norton's significant drag when opening or creating files, compared to similar offerings from different vendors.
PC Magazine noted the program's lengthy installation time and weak spam filtering feature; valid e-mail messages were marked as spam and actual spam e-mail were not.
Windows 98 compatibility was dropped from this release.
System requirements were Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or Windows XP, 325 Megabytes of free hard drive space, a 300 MHz processor, and 256 MB of RAM.
Version 2007 (14.0)
The 2007 version was released on September 12, 2006.
80 percent of the code was rewritten, with the goal of reducing high system resource utilization.
A tabbed interface allows users to access the Norton Protection Center and the program settings without separate windows open.
Symantec also extended its Veritas VxMS technology, enhancing rootkit detection.
VxMS allows Norton to detect inconsistencies among files within directories and files at the volume level.
Phishing detection was introduced in this release for Internet Explorer.
Norton checks sites visited in Internet Explorer against a blacklist and analyzes sites' code.
Other features include a exploit scanner which looks at system components commonly hosting vulnerabilities, such as Internet Explorer settings.
Supplementing the scanner, real-time exploit protection blocks attackers from leveraging common browser and application vulnerabilities.
When possible, Norton will fix issues found; otherwise the user is warned of the vulnerability.
A startup application manager allows users to prevent applications from launching at login.
E-mail spam filtering, parental controls, advertisement blocking, and the information filtering features were not bundled with this release to reduce performance impact and disk space requirements.
Instead, the features are available separately in 2007 add-on package.
CNET reports mixed results in performance testing; however gains were made over the 2006 version.
Warner also noted the 2007 version's reduced impact on system performance, compared to the 2006 version.
Similar to the prior version, spam filtering module misidentified valid e-mail and missed actual spam, according to PC Magazine.
Windows 2000 compatibility was dropped from this release.
Compatibility with 32-bit editions of Windows Vista was introduced later in this release with a patch from Symantec.
When installed in Vista, 350 MB of free space, an 800 MHz processor, and 512 MB of RAM is needed.
When installed in Windows XP, 350 MB of free space, a 300 MHz processor, and 256 MB of RAM is required.
Version 2008 (15.0)
The 2008 version was released on August 28, 2007.
New features include SONAR and the Norton Identity Safe.
SONAR was designed using technologies Symantec acquired from WholeSecurity.
The Identity Safe supersedes the information filtering function, storing webform information and can fill such forms.
The information filtering feature is still available in the 2008 add-on package, and can be used in conjunction with the Identity Safe.
Phishing protection now integrates with Mozilla Firefox as well as Internet Explorer.
The startup application manager was dropped from this release.
Advertisement blocking was dropped from this release's add-on package.
When installed in 32-bit editions of Windows XP Service Pack 2, 350 MB of free space, a 300 MHz processor, and 256 MB of RAM is required.
Support for 64-bit editions of Windows Vista was added in this release.
350 MB of free space, a 800 MHz processor, and 512 MB of RAM is required.
Version 2009 (16.0)
The 2009 version was released on September 8, 2008.
Benchmarking conducted by PassMark Software highlights this release's 52 second install time, 32 second scan time, and 7 MB memory utilization.
Symantec funded the benchmark test and provided scripts used to benchmark each participating antivirus software.
A single main interface replaces the tabs found in prior releases.
New features include Norton Insight which whitelists files based on reputation, cutting scanning time.
Virus signature updates are now delivered 5 to 15 minutes, supplementing the reliability tested updates issued by Symantec every several hours.
However, such updates may incorrectly identify files as malicious, and users can elect not to receive those updates.
Spam filtering was reintegrated in this release.
The add-on package now includes information filtering and parental controls.
The exploit scanner found in the 2007 and 2008 versions was dropped from this release.

However, version 3.0 is not compatible with OS X 10.4, or "Tiger".
Version 4.0 was released on December 18, 2008.
Symantec also markets a bundle of Version 4.0 and the 2009 version for Windows, intended for users with both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X installed.
iClean was dropped from this release.
The firewall now blocks access to malicious sites using a blacklist updated by Symantec.
To prevent attackers from leveraging insecurities in the Mac or installed software, exploit protection was introduced in this release.
Phishing protection was introduced in this release as well.
Operating system requirements call for Mac OS X 10.4.11 or higher.
Either a PowerPC or Intel Core processor, 256 MB of RAM and 150 MB of free space are required.
FBI cooperation
The FBI confirmed the active development of Magic Lantern, a keylogger intended to obtain passwords to encrypted e-mail as part of a criminal investigation.
Magic Lantern was first reported in the media by Bob Sullivan of MSNBC on 20 November 2001 and by Ted Bridis of the Associated Press.
The FBI intends to deploy Magic Lantern in the form of an e-mail attachment.
When the attachment is opened, it installs a trojan horse on the suspect's computer.
The trojan horse is activated when the suspect uses PGP encryption, often used to increase the security of sent e-mail messages.
When activated, the trojan horse will log the PGP password, which allows the FBI to decrypt user communications.
Symantec and other major antivirus vendors have whitelisted Magic Lantern, rendering their antivirus products, including Norton Internet Security, incapable of detecting Magic Lantern.
Concerns include uncertainties about Magic Lantern's full potential and whether hackers could subvert it for purposes outside the jurisdiction of the law.
Graham Cluley, a technology consultant from Sophos, said "We have no way of knowing if it was written by the FBI, and even if we did, we wouldn’t know whether it was being used by the FBI or if it had been commandeered by a third party".
Another reaction came from Marc Maiffret, chief technical officer and cofounder of eEye Digital Security, "Our customers are paying us for a service, to protect them from all forms of malicious code.
It is not up to us to do law enforcement's job for them so we do not, and will not, make any exceptions for law enforcement malware or other tools."
FBI spokesman Paul Bresson, in response if Magic Lantern needed a court order to deploy, "Like all technology projects or tools deployed by the FBI it would be used pursuant to the appropriate legal process."
Proponents of Magic Lantern argue the technology would allow law enforcement to efficiently and quickly decrypt messages protected by encryption schemes.
Implementing Magic Lantern does not require physical access to a suspect's computer, unlike Carnivore, a predecessor to Magic Lantern, since physical access to a computer would require a court order.
Performance impact
In 2006, Oli Warner published two articles comparing the system performance impact of various Windows applications, including Norton Internet Security 2006.
He later reran the experiments, revising his methodology and included 2007 version at Symantec's request.
Warner benchmarked the processor and the disk performance with and without each application, compiling two scripts in C++, a programming language.
One calculated all prime numbers between 100,000 and 200,000 and the other tested file read/write time.
BootVis was used to measure boot time.
All testing was conducted inside a virtualized environment created by VMware.
Despite the 2007 version's improvements, Warner noted its significant boot delay and impact on file operations.
Recent testing conducted by PassMark Software found the 2009 version had the least impact on system performance.
As noted earlier, Symantec funded the testing and provided some of the scripts used.
Warner's scripts were also used to test file read/write time.
The second and third ranked suites were ESET Smart Security 2008 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, respectively.
Systems were benchmarked with a clean installation of Windows Vista, then again with a security suite installed.
The 2009 version had the least impact on boot time, the fastest scan speed, lowest memory utilization, and the program itself installed the fastest out of its competitors.
However, the 2009 version had the second most impact on file read/write time, as highlighted by Warner earlier.
Norton Internet Security (Windows versions) have been criticized for refusing to uninstall completely, leaving unnecessary files behind.
Versions prior to 2009 installed a separate LiveUpdate program, which updates Norton-branded software.
The user must uninstall both Norton Internet Security and the LiveUpdate component manually.
The LiveUpdate component is purposely left behind to update other Norton-branded products, if present.
In response, Symantec developed the Norton Removal Tool to remove leftover registry keys and values along with files and folders.
Uninstallation will not remove subscription data, preserved to prevent users from installing multiple trial copies.
Windows XP and Vista Service Packs
When Norton Internet Security 2008 is installed, users encountered incompatibilities upgrading to Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
Users report numerous invalid registry keys being added by a tool named fixcss.exe, resulting in an empty Device Manager and missing devices such as wireless network adapters.
Symantec initially blamed Microsoft for the incompatibilities but has since accepted partial responsibility.
Dave Cole, Symantec's senior director of product management, acknowledged that users running Norton products were experiencing problems, but said the numbers are small.
Cole also said that Symantec had done "extensive testing" of its products with Windows XP SP3, but this issue had not surfaced.
Cole essentially blamed Microsoft, "This is related to XP SP3," he stated.
Microsoft recommended users to contact Windows customer support.
To resolve the problem, Symantec has issued a fix intended for users before upgrading.
Symantec also recommends disabling the tamper protection component in the 2008 release, dubbed SymProtect.
Sarah Hicks, Symantec's vice president of consumer product management, voiced concern over Windows Vista 64-bit's PatchGuard feature.
PatchGuard was designed by Microsoft to ensure the integrity of the kernel, a part of a operating system which interacts with the hardware.
Rootkits often hide in an operating system's kernel, complicating removal.
Mike Dalton, European president of McAfee said, "The decision to build a wall around the kernel with the assumption it can't be breached is ridiculous", claiming Microsoft was preventing security vendors from effectively protecting the kernel while promoting its own security product, Windows Live OneCare.
Hicks said Symantec did not mind the competition from OneCare.
Symantec later published a white paper detailing PatchGuard with instructions to obtain a PatchGuard exploit.
After negotiations and investigations from antitrust regulators, Microsoft decided to allow security vendors access to the kernel by creating special API instructions.

The Ottauquechee River is a river in Vermont, in the eastern United States.
It is a tributary to the Connecticut River, and is about  long.
It begins in the Green Mountains, and flows through the counties of Rutland County and Windsor County, flowing into the Connecticut River in the town of Hartland.
There is one hydroelectric dam on the river, which forms a lake called North Hartland Lake.
San Diego Creek is a small northwest-flowing river in Orange County, California.
It is about  long and its watershed covers 112.2 square miles (291 square kilometers) in three cities.
Its source is in the Coast Range, but several of its tributaries begin in the Santa Ana Mountains and flow west to the creek.
San Diego Creek flows into Upper Newport Bay, a branch of Newport Bay and eventually the Pacific Ocean.
Gateshead F.C. is an association football team who are from North East England.
They are an professional club.
South Shields to Gateshead
During the early years of the English Football League, South Shields played in the league, finishing as high as sixth in the Second Division.
However problems with money saw them move the short distance between to Gateshead.
Gateshead became an established team in the Football League's bottom division, coming close to promotion twice.
But in 1960, they were controversially voted out of the league, to be replaced by Peterborough United F.C.. The team never really recovered and entered administration in 1974.
Recent History
A successor to Gateshead were soon founded, and attempted to join the Scottish Football League, but they did not get enough votes.
This new team also went out of business.
But once again, the people of South Shields saved Gateshead and in 1977 the current Gateshead side moved to the town.
Gateshead have since moved between the Northern Premier League and the Football Conference.
Under Gary Mills, they were able to reach the playoff final but Cambridge beat them to end their hopes of return to the League.
Since then a more mellow patch followed.

Fun and Fancy Free is a 1947 American animated musical fantasy comedy package movie.
It was produced by Walt Disney.
It was released on September 27, 1947 by RKO Radio Pictures.
It is the 9th Disney animated movie and the fourth of the package movies the studio produced in the 1940s in order to save money during World War II.
The Disney package movies of the late 1940s helped finance Cinderella, and subsequent others, such as Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.
The movie features two stories.
The first story, Bongo, is hosted by Jiminy Cricket and narrated by Dinah Shore.
Based on the tale "Little Bear Bongo" by Sinclair Lewis, Bongo tells the story of a circus bear cub named Bongo who longs for freedom from captivity.
Bongo escapes the circus and eventually forms a romantic relationship with a female bear cub named Lulubelle in the wild, realizing that he must prove himself in order to earn Lulubelle as his mate.
The second story, Mickey and the Beanstalk, is hosted by Edgar Bergen and is a retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk featuring Mickey, Donald, and Goofy as three pheasants who discover the temperamental Willie the Giant's castle in the sky through the use of some magic beans.
They must battle the greedy but lovable giant in order to restore peace to their valley.
Mickey and the Beanstalk was the last time Walt Disney voiced Mickey Mouse, because he was too busy on other projects to continue voicing the famous character.
Disney replaced himself with sound effects artist Jimmy MacDonald.
