The flaw occurs in an ActiveX component used by security firm Symantec's flagship desktop security program, Norton Internet Security, according to an advisory published by research firm NGSSoftware. The security hole could be used to run an attack program that would then take control of the computer that the software was trying to protect.

There's mention that Symantec's Spam program has a similar issue. The fix for the Norton problem can be gotten through Liveupdate.

Norton = crap.

Norton Internet Security is itself a security issue. Get a router, a real hardware firewall or something like ZoneAlarm or Sygate Personal Firewall.
