My weblog about all things that interest me (and hopefully you): viruses, programming in general, death & black metal, certain web sites... Well, it could be anything.

Internet Security Systems - F-Secure AntiVirus Library Heap Overflow

Internet Security Systems has a report on a vulnerability on F-Secure Antivirus, which is similar to the other report on the UPX vulnerability of Symantec Antivirus. It looks to me that you're safer using NO ANTIVIRUS software than using one. All you need to do is securing your Windows a bit better (get a external firewall, drop Internet Explorer in favor of Mozille FireFox/Thunderbird) and be careful what you download and NEVER RUN THINGS WITH ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS unless you really have to.
