Hi John Thanks for bringing this problem to our attention and for your support of our product. This Denial of Service problem was addressed in a later version of the product than the one you are using. Hopefully this information will help: 1. If your build is 239 (pcA 9.2.0) or lower you will be susceptible to this type of attack. You should run LiveUpdate from the Help Menu in pcAnywhere to resolve this. 2. If your build is 258 (pcA 9.2.1) you may still be susceptible since the Denial of Service patch did not change the build number. You should still run LiveUpdate from the Help Menu to insure you are protected from this type of attack. 3. LiveUpdate technology automatically retrieves and applies any patches for you when you have an internet connection. For those companies who do not allow an internet connection, a patch can be downloaded by an administrator and distributed to the employees. This particular Denial of Service patch is located at http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/files/pca/pca9-9598nt.html 4. If you have any questions or concerns about this issue or any other issue, feel free to contact me directly Regards, John John Thornton - jthorntonat_private Editor in Chief Hackers Digest - www.hackersdigest.com H A C K E R ' S D I G E S T ----------------------------------------------------------------- #1 for propeller heads ----------------------------------------------------------------- www.hackersdigest.com
