A possible zero day exploit has been discovered for a flaw in Flash thought to have been patched by Adobe a month ago.
After suspecting a zero day exploit was being used to attack the latest version of Flash Player (9.0.124.0), Symantec says the call was a mistake - it was an older version, 9.0.115.0 and prior.
Social networking Web sites are fast becoming a key target for online fraud, according to the latest Symantec Internet Security Threat Report.
Yahoo's e-mail service is not infected with a computer virus, despite a warning from Symantec that says it is.
Security experts at RSA have come across a new tool that automatically creates sophisticated phishing sites, a sign that cybercrooks are getting increasingly professional.
The latest Internet Threat Survey from Symantec is a whopping 120 pages and unlike in its previous reports, the company has avoided any mention of malware for Apple's OS X.
In three years phishing has transformed from an unknown threat into a multi-million dollar industry; in the next stage of its evolution, phishers will avoid using spam and instead hijack small parts of 'trusted' Web sites in order to bypass anti-phishing tools.
Symantec on Tuesday plans to launch the Symantec Internet Threat Meter, a free service meant to inform consumers about the state of Net security.
In the increasingly Google-YouTube-Web 2.0 age we inhabit, it's become fashionable to dismiss Windows as a relic.
Norton AntiVirus 2006 improves its detection and removal of spyware and adware but lags behind the more proactive McAfee VirusScan 2006.
A series of follies by antivirus provider Symantec could well lead customers deeper into a quagmire of confusion and panic, says Fran Foo.
A software component of Norton Internet Security could allow hackers to use the application as a backdoor into a person's computer system, security researchers warned.
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8 provides flexibility when creating desktop and laptop backups. If you have high value data stored on your computer, then we think $106.53 is a reasonable price to ensure it's protected.
If you need to partition your live hard drive, Norton PartitionMagic 8 is still the application to beat.
By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioral monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.
