Symantec AV may execute viruses

I would actually expect LiveUpdate for the home versions to get the 
update automatically.  The corporate edition however does not update 
the software via LiveUpdate - they figure IT departments would rather 
control when the software gets updated themselves, but unfortunately in 
most companies that probably means almost never :\

Also, it doesn't appear that this issue effects the Mac software (at 
least, I didn't see the Mac products in the Symantec vulnerability 
list), only Windows products.
