Cadoul from France <-QUOTE}Hello Cadoul, Merry Christmas! Well did you notice this paragraph:

{QUOTE-> Wheeler is well known among researchers for his probing of security software weaknesses. Earlier in 2005, he disclosed a slew of vulnerabilities in software from major vendors like McAfee, Kaspersky Labs, F-Secure, and Trend Micro. All the bugs he has discovered involve how the various anti-virus scanning engines handle compressed files. <-QUOTE}{Bolding is mine for emphasis}. Symantec isn't the only one's products in which he has found vulnerabilities .. hopefully they will patch this one soon, just as MS issues patches for its products .. :) ;) Thanks for the heads-up .. Warmly, Ran

{QUOTE-> The vulnerability in Symantec's anti-virus line disclosed earlier this week isn't a big risk, a rival security firm said Friday. <-QUOTE}
