The new vulnerability in the Symantec software is so huge, that you don’t even have to do anything for it to be exploited. This was discovered by Forrester Research. All a person needs to do to exploit this is create a RAR file and put it on a machine running the Symantec software. This effects both the Windows and Mac versions of the software. There is no 100% patch for the vulnerability yet, so the recommendation is that you turn off RAR scanning. This whole situation reminds me of the Russian matrioshka dolls. Symantec is supposed to be covering the users’ ass but who’s covering theirs?
