According to a flurry of news reports, the Symantec Antivirus software which is supposed to protect your computer from hackers may actually one now be one of the weaknesses. We're seeing quite a buzz with headlines like:
* Flaw found in Symantec antivirus software (VNUNet)
* It's time to toss out your antivirus software (ZDNet)
* Company: Hackers can crack top antivirus program (CNN)
If confirmed, this could be a very serious issue because of how widespread the software is, but I'm sure that there will be a patch for those who are affected and who keep their virus software up-to-date.
