Symantec Products Security Announcement

US-Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) released a bulletin last week on a number of Symantec’s security products that are exposed to hacker attacks. These products (Norton Anti-Virus, Internet Security, and System Works) need to be updated with a LiveUpdate event to permanently patch the problem.

They also released the 10-highest virus and trojan threats for the week: no surprise that Netsky ranks the number one problem. Users should remain vigilant to email worms like Netsky that attempt to distribute email through impersonation. Infections could lead to your email address being blacklisted and rejected from major mail servers.
