Symantec AntiVirus Puts Millions at Risk
A flaw has been found in Symantec's [ NORTON ] latest enterprise antivirus software that allows hackers to exploit a PC without the user having to open anything. Version 10 and above of Symantec's enterprise anti-virus software is said to be affected.
The consumer AV products, however, are said not to be affected by the threat.
But :
Last December, a flaw was discovered in Symantec's Antivirus Library that potentially allowed remote attackers to gain control of users’ systems. And in October, a critical flaw was found in the company's anti-virus scan engine software.
And I personally find it to be a major resource hog and a very intrusive software.
