Well, you could knocked me over with a turd... :& Symantec's antivirus application may have a major security flaw in it? Not if Symantec can find it and cover it up, eh?

Symantec cover up a flaw in its AV app? Shocking. Absolutely shocking. I can't believe it.

Neither can I - maybe that's why I prefer to use ZoneAlarm Pro....

Just to be a wet blanket, stories of Symantec being vulnerable to security breaches have been floating around for a few months now. It's no less excusable but it's not breaking news. What has me really concerned is that these vulnerabilities *have* been around for so long. The fact that they're still being reported is very worrying. Can anyone spell H.A.C.K.E.R.S.W.E.T.D.R.E.A.M.?

Well I know for a fact that volvo won't be able to spell it mate !!

[Shamus_McFartfinger]

Yep. He'd probably spell it with a 3.

I didn't think he was learning his numbers yet !!
