Symantec: pcAnywhere Users at Increased Risk By Brian Prince on January 26, 2012 Symantec has found itself in the unusual position of having to warn users about its own software. At the center of the concerns is Symantec’s pcAnywhere product. PcAnywhere is a suite of programs that allows a user of the pcAnywhere remote program to connect to a PC running the pcAnywhere host if both are connected to the Internet or are on the same LAN. The technology is also bundled with numerous Symantec products. The full standalone version is included in a number of Altiris-based solutions, while the remote access component of pcAnywhere, known as the pcAnywhere Thin Host, is bundled with various Symantec backup and security products. According to Symantec, all pcAnywhere 12.0, 12.1 and 12.5 customers are facing increased risk as a result of a 2006 source code theft that also impacted older versions of several Norton products. Users of earlier versions of pcAnywhere are also at risk as well, the company said. “What we're actually asking customers to do is, first, upgrade to pcAnywhere 12.5 and make sure all the updates available are installed,” Symantec spokesperson Brian Modena told SecurityWeek today.
