pcAnywhere 9.2 update.

[John Thornton <jthornton () hackersdigest com>]

Hi John
Thanks for bringing this problem to our attention and for your support 
of
our product. This Denial of Service problem was addressed in a later
version of the product than the one you are using.  Hopefully this
information will help:

1. If your build is 239 (pcA 9.2.0) or lower you will be susceptible to
this type of attack.  You should run LiveUpdate from the Help Menu in
pcAnywhere to resolve this.

2. If your build is 258 (pcA 9.2.1) you may still be susceptible 
since the
Denial of Service patch did not change the build number.  You should 
still
run LiveUpdate from the Help Menu to insure you are protected from this
type of attack.

3. LiveUpdate technology automatically retrieves and applies any patches
for you when you have an internet connection.  For those companies 
who do
not allow an  internet connection, a patch can be downloaded by an
administrator and distributed to the employees.    This particular 
Denial
of Service patch is located at
http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/files/pca/pca9-9598nt.html

4. If you have any questions or concerns about this issue or any other
issue, feel free to contact me directly

Regards,
John
