http://www.theage.com.au/technology/security/hacking-fears-symantec-tells-customers-to-disable-software-20120126-1qieg.html[^] Security firm Symantec took the rare step of advising customers to stop using one of its products, saying its pcAnywhere software for accessing remote PCs is at increased risk of getting hacked after blueprints of that software were stolen I tell friends and relatives all the time to disable (and in fact, uninstall) Symantec. Good to see the company itself is catching up with the times. I'm just wondering what anti-virus they are suggesting people use instead.

yes, good that they are honest, it will be good for them in long run. One of my previous company was using it officially!
