Not so fast: Symantec Corporate edition v10 flags Famatech's RAdmin (remote administrator) as badware, mainly because it's been used by Trojans in the past as a remote control mechanism. I know that if I didn't use this software on my network, I'd want to know that it was somewhere. But a customer *does* use this software, and there is no centralized way to tell it "Ignore RAdmin if it's in the expected place" or at least "Ignore RAdmin"; it has to be excluded by hand in a couple of places on each desktop, and it's just been a nightmare.
From what I understand, Symantec has not been terribly concerned about
this, and I'm sure the poor folks at Famatech are beside themselves. Steve --- Stephen J Friedl | Security Consultant | UNIX Wizard | +1 714 544-6561 www.unixwiz.net | Tustin, Calif.
