Most likely the spokerman isn't an employee of Symantec, most likely for these presentations they simply call some guy (who work in the field) that do the presentation for them.

Anyway, that should have been a nice day for this guy

My theory:

1) Sarcastic expression
2) Assumption/Conclusion made from a post on the Kaspersky Fan Club forums from a KL guy that Avira is one of the more interesting products on the market.

well if you like kaspersky and use it why would you work for symantec?
if you have expirence in your job in sure you could work for kaspersky instead.
also do you think the receptionist at drweb is using drweb?
