Symantec declares pcAnywhere safe to use, Tuesday, 1/31/2012
http://www.scmagazineuk.com/symantec-declares-pcanywhere-safe-to-use/article/225425/

Looks like they are offering free upgrades; even if you have a 
no-longer-supported version.

A scan for exposed systems running pcAnywhere found that tens of thousands of 
installations that could be attacked through unpatched vulnerabilities in the 
software because they directly communicate with the internet.

This might explain an uptick in PSA ports that were being probed last week :)

You may not have seen this, but Symantec has advised all its users of
pcAnywhere to literally turn it off, and wait for security patches. It's
old code and it was stolen in 200g and was not updated much. There are
several vulnerabilities in encoding and encryption. Here is the white
paper with their recommendations:

They kept a lot of corporate customers a couple years ago when they

customers either a year or a couple of years of free upgrades.  I wonder if

They kept a lot of corporate customers a couple years ago when they released a 
bad definition file that borked computers (they wouldn't boot after receiving 
the definition file update.)  They then gave corporate customers either a year 
or a couple of years of free upgrades.  I wonder if they can buy their way back 
from this one.

 On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into
 the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able
 rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such
 a question.

 ** IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER *

 This document should be read only by those persons to whom it is
 addressed. If you have received this message it was obviously addressed to
 you and therefore you can read it, even it we didn't mean to send it to
 you. However, if the contents of this email make no sense whatsoever then
 you probably were not the intended recipient, or, alternatively, you are a
 mindless cretin; either way, you should immediately kill yourself and
 destroy your computer (not necessarily in that order). Once you have taken
 this action, please contact us.. no, sorry, you can't use your computer,
 because you just destroyed it, and possibly also committed suicide
 afterwards, but I am starting to digress.. *

 * The originator of this email is not liable for the transmission of the
 information contained in this communication. Or are they? Either way it's a
 pretty dull legal query and frankly one I'm not going to dwell on. But
 should you have nothing better to do, please feel free to ruminate on it,
 and please pass on any concrete conclusions should you find them. However,
 if you pass them on via email, be sure to include a disclaimer regarding
 liability for transmission.
 *

 * In the event that the originator did not send this email to you, then
 please return it to us and attach a scanned-in picture of your mother's
 brother's wife wearing nothing but a kangaroo suit, and we will immediately
 refund you exactly half of what you paid for the can of Whiskas you bought
 when you went to Pets** ** At Home yesterday. *

 * We take no responsibility for non-receipt of this email because we are
 running Exchange 5.5 and everyone knows how glitchy that can be. In the
 event that you do get this message then please note that we take no
 responsibility for that either. Nor will we accept any liability, tacit or
 implied, for any damage you may or may not incur as a result of receiving,
 or not, as the case may be, from time to time, notwithstanding all
 liabilities implied or otherwise, ummm, hell, where was I...umm, no matter
 what happens, it is NOT, and NEVER WILL BE, OUR FAULT! *

 * The comments and opinions expressed herein are my own and NOT those of
 my employer, who, if he knew I was sending emails and surfing the seamier
 side of the Internet, would cut off my manhood and feed it to me for
 afternoon tea. *
