CUSIP No.		02148M 10 0		Page		3		of		6

26, 2007, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and more fully described in Item 4, whereby each Securityholder agreed to vote all of the shares of Altiris common stock currently beneficially owned by such Securityholder or acquired by such Securityholder after such date (including by means of exercise of stock options) in favor of the merger and related matters. Each of these Securityholders also granted Symantec an irrevocable proxy granting Symantec the right to vote such shares in favor of such matters (the voting agreements and proxies together are referred to herein as the “Voting Agreements”). Symantec did not pay additional consideration to the Securityholders in exchange for the Voting Agreements.

References to, and descriptions of, the merger, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements throughout this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement included as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D and the Voting Agreement included as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D, respectively. These agreements are incorporated into this Schedule 13D where such references and descriptions appear.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

(a) – (b) As described in Item 3 above, this Schedule 13D relates to the proposed acquisition of Altiris by Symantec pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. To induce Symantec to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Securityholders entered into the Voting Agreements. The purpose of the Voting Agreements is to facilitate the consummation of the merger.

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of Altiris common stock will be converted into the right to receive $33.00 in cash, without interest. At such time, outstanding stock options and restricted stock units issued by Altiris will be converted into stock options and restricted stock units of Symantec based on an exchange ratio specified in the Merger Agreement, and outstanding warrants and restricted stock awards will represent the right to receive the per share cash merger consideration.

By executing the Voting Agreements, the Securityholders have (i) agreed to vote all of the shares of Altiris common stock currently beneficially owned by them or acquired prior to the expiration of the Voting Agreement, including by means of exercise of stock options, in favor of the merger, adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other matter that is reasonably necessary to facilitate the merger, and against any Alternative Transaction Proposal (as defined in Article 1 of the Merger Agreement) and any other matter that might reasonably be expected to prevent, delay, postpone or frustrate the purposes of the merger, and (ii) granted irrevocable proxies to Symantec granting Symantec the right to vote such shares as specified in clause (i). The Securityholders may vote such shares on all other matters submitted to the Altiris stockholders for their approval. The Voting Agreements terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) termination of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the effectiveness of the merger.

(d) It is anticipated that upon consummation of the merger, the officers and directors of Merger Sub shall become the officers and directors of Altiris (the surviving corporation in the merger), until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

(e) Other than as a result of the merger described in Item 3 and above in this Item 4, not applicable.

(f) Not applicable.


CUSIP No.		02148M 10 0		Page		4		of		6

(g) Upon consummation of the merger, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Altiris shall be amended and restated in their entirety in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2 of the Merger Agreement.

(h) – (i) If the Merger is consummated as planned, Altiris common stock will cease to be quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.’s Global Select Market and will become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(j) Not applicable.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) – (b) As a result of the Voting Agreements, Symantec may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 3,506,881 shares of Altiris common stock. This number of shares represents approximately 11.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Altiris common stock based on the number of shares outstanding as of January 24, 2007 (as represented by Altiris in the Merger Agreement). Symantec disclaims any beneficial ownership of such shares, and nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission by Symantec as to the beneficial ownership of such shares.

To Symantec’s knowledge, no shares of Altiris common stock are beneficially owned by any of the persons identified in Schedule A to this Schedule 13D.

(b) Symantec may be deemed to have shared voting power of the 3,506,881 shares of Altiris common stock held by the Securityholders due to Symantec’s right under the Voting Agreements to direct the voting of such shares with respect to the matters specified in the Voting Agreements (and to vote such shares in accordance with the proxies). However, Symantec does not control the voting of such shares with respect to other matters, and does not possess any other rights as an Altiris stockholder with respect to such shares.

Information required by Item 2 (a)-(c) with respect to each Securityholder is set forth on Schedule B. To Symantec’s knowledge, none of the persons identified on Schedule B (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) during the last five years, or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws during the last five years. To Symantec’s knowledge, each of the individuals identified on Schedule B is a citizen of the United States, except that Frank E. Dangeard is a citizen of France.

(c) To Symantec’s knowledge, no transactions in Altiris common stock have been effected during the past sixty days by any person named pursuant to Item 2.

(d) To Symantec’s knowledge, no person other than the Securityholders identified on Schedule B has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such shares.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The terms of the Voting Agreements are described under Item 4(a)-(b) above. The Voting Agreements also apply to any shares of Altiris common stock acquired by the parties to such agreements after the date of the Voting Agreements, including by means of exercise of stock options. The number of shares that Symantec may be deemed to beneficially own as of the date of filing of this Schedule 13D, as reported herein, does not include the shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options held by the parties to the Voting Agreements, and Symantec disclaims beneficial ownership of all such shares.
