I have Norton Antivirus 2000, and the flag you mention is there and set to
0x00000003, which they claim to be the dangerous setting in NAV 2001. Yet
my version is active and doing fine :) And, I never received a SARC alert
on this one, so it either does not apply to version 2000 with the settings
mentioned in http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/100/192255, or the whole
thing might be a hoax (I don't think so though, maybe a NAV 2001 user would
know this).

Might be a good idea to 'archive' this, incase it becomes an issue for
you...

Quote from 'The Register':
Despite this Symantec is taking the issue seriously enough
to
announce plans that it will change the way Norton AntiVirus
uses a
PC system's registry starting with NAV 2002.
Previous versions of NAV, Symantec's flagship antivirus
product
(prior to NAV 2001), were not tested for the vulnerability
so it's not
known if users of older products are affected by the alleged
bug.
For those who'v just checked their ver.#. I 'had' v2000 until I did a
'liveupdate'. I now have v2001. The URL lists a 'Reg fix' if it becomes a
problem...
....and for those who wish to ram on about non-AW content... This 'could be'
an issue that affects AW Citizens... As a Citizen and a member of the AW
community 'I' believe it's worth posting... Don't like it, filter me... I'l
lay awake nites worrying about it... NOT... :-)
