Norton Users Beware !

[Qdos]

You need to read between the lines. Symantec have deceived end users and the media, however they've lost the source code to certain flagship products.

"Previously Symantec said the leak involved only Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Symantec Antivirus 10.2, enterprise products of similar 2006-07 vintage. Now it admits the leak includes older versions of its flagship Norton Internet Security software as well as the secret source code for pcAnywhere, a widely used brand of remote control software."

The dangers to PC Anywhere users, many of whom are corporations, cannot be underestimated.

What else have they not made public?

I knew it was going to happen, so finally Symantec are basically
owning up to their original public release being a sandwich short
of the actual picnic...

Confidence inspiring or what?

Pff our data is never safe, is it? Speaking of pcAnywhere though, any idea if Audials Anywhere has anything in common with it? I keep hearing about it but can't find any description, just the original Audials soft without the "Anywhere" part.
