Symantec Revenue Slips Among More Competition

Antivirus software maker Symantec Corp reported a 3 percent fall in quarterly revenue as demand for its consumer security products slows down amid stiff competition.

The company's net income rose to $135 million, or 22 cents per share, in the first quarter ended July 1, from $117 million, or 17 cents per share, a year earlier.

Revenue fell to $884 million from $912 million.
