Some of my best friends also use pcAnywhere to reach their remote customer sites at work. I guess it's a better idea to disable this product until the firm releases a final set of software updates that resolve currently known vulnerability risks.

Callpilot, anyone? …since every Nortel product using a Wintel box has a copy of PCAW on it. Even when it was in business, Nortel didn’t patch Nortel products.

They did not know? I'll stick with open source solutions, you know what you get, and there is not so much opportunity for the software supplier to be dishonest.

It appears to only count the full stand-alone pcAnywhere product users. With pcAnywhere included in the Altiris management suite and Symc backup products, I would bet that many more people are running pcAnywhere that we know. We'll be pushing the patch to our 2,000+ Altiris managed desktop shortly...
