Symantec advises customers to stop using pcAnywhere

Due to some recently dis­cov­ered vul­ner­a­bil­i­ties Syman­tec is advis­ing cus­tomers to stop using pcAnywhere, the soft­ware that allows remote con­trol of your PC from the Internet.

But seri­ously, folks. If you can access your PC remotely, it’s just that much more likely some­one else can, too. If you really care about secu­rity, this isn’t some­thing you should be doing regard­less the soft­ware involved.
