Security firm Symantec has warned customers to stop using its pcAnywhere software.

The company confirmed that "old" source code stolen by a hacking group had exposed vulnerabilities in the remote access program.

An advisory note on Symantec's website explained how to minimise risks for customers who used pcAnywhere for "business-critical purposes".

I'm glad I didn't recommend them on the PC Software thread - I did think about it, but I've not used them since dial-up modems, parallel cables and DOS :lol:

Never really liked the idea of this sort of thing, even Symantec's.

Don't get me started on the ones you see advertised on TV. Am I paranoid?

Not used PC Anywhere in years. These days I use LogMeIn Free or join.me for those without the LogMeIn program on their systems.

Logmein and gotomypc are good products. I didn't even realise they were still punting pcanywhere.
