Now that Symantec has asked ALL it's PcAnywhere customers to STOP using pcanywhere due to a security breach from 2006 (see below article), when will a patch be released to address this security risk?

Suggestion: Maybe Symantec should give ALL existing customers (regardless of their version) a free upgrade to PCA 12.5 which appears to have the security hole fixed.

Welcome John,

Have you looked here:  http://go.symantec.com/sourcecode ?

Run live update for your copy and please do report back

Thanks

Thanks for that additional info...

But I am dissapointed in the fact that it doesn't look like Symantec will issue patches for versions of PCA prior to 12, which I have quite a few clients using 10.5 and 11.

And to be forced to pay $200 per 1-user copy of version 12.5 is a bit steep for a security breach that was known about 6 years ago doesn't seem very fair to me.

I don't even see a discounted "upgrade" price anywhere :(
