Symantec LiveUpdate

["Javier Sanchez" <jsanchez157 () hotmail com>]

Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition includes LiveUpdate.  LiveUpdate stores 
Username and Password information in cleartext in the registry.  Depending 
on your implementation, you may not need LiveUpdate installed at all on your 
clients.

I brought this to Symantec's attention months ago.  Since then a new version 
of LiveUpdate has been released.  The information is still not encrypted.

Any user with the client installed can run "regedit" search for "password" 
and viola!

Here's a "fix":
Paste the following into a .reg file (i.e. nav.reg) and push it out to your 
clients via login script or whatever:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\LiveUpdateSource]
"Login"=-
"Password"=-
