This also posted in the spyware forum but as there's people not going there and this is serious enough to take notice:

This allows anyone with the right skills to take total control over your computer.
All users should install the patch from Symantec ASAP or switch to another product.

Re: Serious flaw in Norton products

Switching is a really good idea, I believe.

But then, I have a severe dislike for Norton products

By the way, please do not cross post topics.
