Symantec Endpoint Security issues

Regular readers of this blog will know that I’m not a fan of Anti-Virus companies, especially when they use FUD to sell their products. What’s even worse is when a security application, which is supposed to protect you from security issues, has security issues itself.

Symantec’s workstation anti-virus application, SEP, is apparently riddled with them according to Secunia. Included in the list are cross-site scripting and request forgery issues. Time to look at something else?
