<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this

in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement &#151; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or 15(d) of the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities

under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall
be deemed a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which have been filed by Symantec Corporation (the "Registrant") with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are hereby incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement:
(a)
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30,
2007, filed with the Commission on May 24, 2007;
(b)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") since the end of the fiscal year
covered by the Registrant's Annual Report referred to in (a) above;
(c)
The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on May 24, 1989 (including
any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description); and
(d)
The description of the Registrant's Preferred Stock Purchase Rights contained
in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form
8-A filed with the Commission on
August 19, 1998 (including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating
such description).
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters
all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Unless expressly incorporated into this Registration Statement, a report furnished on
Form 8-K prior or subsequent to the date hereof shall not be incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement, except as to specific sections of such statements as set forth therein. Any
statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that a statement contained in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
As of the date of this Registration Statement, attorneys of Fenwick & West LLP and family
members thereof beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 13,750 shares of the Registrant's
Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Registrant's Certificate
of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
–
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Registrant
or its stockholders;
Table of Contents
–
for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;
–
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases; and
–
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, Registrant's Bylaws provide that:
–
Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers
to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
subject to limited exceptions;
–
Registrant may indemnify its other employees and agents to the
extent that it indemnifies its officers and directors, unless otherwise
required by law, its certificate of incorporation, its bylaws or agreements to
which it is a party;
–
Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its
directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited
exceptions; and
–
the rights conferred in the Bylaws are not exclusive.
Registrant has entered into Indemnity Agreements with each of its current directors and
officers to give such directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope
of the indemnification set forth in Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and to
provide additional procedural protections.
Registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance and has extended that
coverage for public securities matters.
See also the undertakings set out in response to Item 9.

Item 9. Undertakings.
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement — notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set for the in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in this Registration Statement;
and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall
be deemed a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
To effect the above, each of the undersigned has executed this Power of Attorney as of the
date indicated beside each name.
