Software maker Symantec issued a warning to customers who are using the company’s pcAnywhere software.

The company website said that users should disable the security software to prevent hackers from possibly getting into the computer.

“At this time, Symantec recommends disabling the product until Symantec releases a final set of software updates that resolve currently known vulnerability risks,” said a technical whitepaper.

Earlier in the month, the security firm confirmed that some segments of its source code were accessed by hackers based out of India. The company informed that these codes were used for its older enterprise products, out of which one has already been discontinued.

The new advice on the site said that the Symantec’s investigation continues to indicate that the theft is limited to only the code for the 2006 versions of Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition; Norton Internet Security; Norton SystemWorks (Norton Utilities and Norton GoBack); and pcAnywhere.

“Our current analysis shows that all pcAnywhere 12.0, 12.1 and 12.5 customers are at increased risk, as well as customers using prior versions of the product. Symantec recommends that customers follow general security best practices, as well as configuring pcAnywhere in a way that minimizes potential risks. Symantec also recommends that customers only use pcAnywhere for business critical purposes,” said the posting on the site.
