pcAnywhere is Safe Again

Symantec issued a statement updating their pcAnywhere customers with the news that they were able to patch all breach-exposed vulnerabilities that had previously caused the company to advise users to disable the product.

"On Friday, January 27, 2012, Symantec released a patch that eliminates known

vulnerabilities affecting customers using pcAnywhere 12.0 and pcAnywhere 12.1."

Symantec is also offering a free-upon-request upgrade to the latest version of pcAnywhere, version 12.5. Users should send the company an email to their pcanywhere@symantec.com address.
