Re: AVG updates grant full control to Everyone, changes owner?
Now I'm wondering what other AV/security products have this vulnerability. I note that AVG Pro has ICSA certification. Seems like ICSA would have some standards on the vulnerability of the products themselves.
I'd expect these vendors to step up and respond to this issue. If they don't, It'll just reinforce security product critics who feel the Secvendor market is a big shell game.
Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security (which I used for about a year) does almost the same thing to its program folder as well. However, only the Everyone group is listed on the Security tab with the permission set to Full Control of course. -- Robert L. Geier
