Interesting. Symantic Endpoint wasn't tested.

Is that different to the Sophos Endpoint Security and Control 9.0.5 mentioned on that list?

So is this a bug in the AV software, or Windows?

While it is indeed a clever trick, I think the headline is a little OTT. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

One's made by Symantec, the other by Sophos. Similar names, very different products.

It is a flaw in Windows, which will allow you to circumvent the AV software - if you can get past the AV software in the first place...  I agree with JJW, it is overblown, although it is a serious problem.

Agreed, but is it possible to attack OSX and linux this way? _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Theoretically, yes... But it is pretty moot, because most *NIX machines aren't running AV software, so you don't need to bypass it...
