• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

EEye Digital Security, based in Aliso Viejo says a new worm dubbed “Big Yellow” is spreading through a security hole in the corporate version of Symantec's antivirus software. A patch was released months ago but, unfortunately, it is up to customers to install it.

Symantec released a patch to address the flaw in May, but it's up to its corporate customers to install it. Officials at the Cupertino-based security software company said Friday it had so far received three reports of systems affected by the worm.

Scary....well I put Live OneCare on my PC a few months ago, so I shouldn't worry about it.
 
Wait is this a patch that the liveupdate doesn't install? If so then yea I can see this being a big problem.
 
I use SAV9 corporate(U.S. Army, Licensed for all Active Duty personnel), I saw no mention of Big Yellow on Symantec's website. Anyone know they official name?
