Vulnerability Pt.3 (Includes PoC VBScript Code) 

Hi All, I have major issues with the quality of Norton AntiVirus. 
For some history, see:
http://seclists.org/lists/fulldisclosure/2004/Oct/0540.html - Norton
AntiVirus 2004 Script Blocking Failure (Rant and PoC enclosed)
http://seclists.org/lists/fulldisclosure/2004/Oct/0775.html - Norton
AntiVirus 2004/2005 Script Blocking Redux Symantec's Response to this issue:
(From a week ago) "ScriptBlocking is intended to provide proactive detection
against script-based worms and this component of Norton AntiVirus has been
effective at doing this since its introduction in 2001" Huh? Below is a
'typical' script-based virus that Norton AntiVirus will allow a user to run,
without *any* intervention on NAV's part whatsoever. It's likely that code
similar to this is already appended to script-based threats/worms to assist
their penetration in the wild.

Dam. McAfee picked it right up as viral.


thank you
