If someone wanted to attempt a reply, here's a better translation than what Google provided:

 

I have heard from some people that due to the political conflicts between Iran and US, Norton takes advantage of the Iranian users' trusts and it would try to knock them down.(This is the part that I really don't know what he meant.)

 

I have been using Symantec product since 2007 and I have a full trust in Symantec. Would you please respond to this so I would write it in my blog, so Iranian Symantec users would know the truth as well?

some stupid people in iran say:symantec not protect them Because the support team not support persian user.

They say : symantec product install spyware in iranian user's because persian User trust them.

but i say this is bull**bleep** and all symantec fans Agreed.

persian User need a proof from symantec for show to the iran fans and say:They truly do care about persian user's and protect them.

Thanks Golden Boy ..... but how can Symantec prove a negative? That they do not install spyware?

 

If users in Iran can buy the Norton products doesn't that indicate some degree of at least neutrality in a political arena?

If I understand clearly Symantec does not support or do business in Iran. Perhaps they are boycotting Iran as most businesses are (I believe Iran is under economic sanction by the US and UN. Correct me if I'm wrong.)

I don't think Symanec "boycotts" anyone but it has to observe US Government export restrictions which include both embargoes on countries as well as security restrictions since Identity Safe contains high level cryptography.

 

You may remember that Public Test Betas could not be sent abroad to some countries until the product got clearance papers and that at least one of those countries is one that is strongly supported by the USA ....

Symantec is bound by Export Control Laws which govern the export of goods and services to certain countries, as explained here:

 

http://www.symantec.com/about/profile/policies/legal.jsp#compliance

 

Just a reminder:  Discussion of legal matters is prohibited in the forums - I post this since it is a public document on the Symantec website but urge that there be no comments concerning its contents.
