Well I don't really care now do I? This is a Linux blog, and thanks heavens we don't have to deal with viruses and anti-virus programs that hog our systems….

And nobody said there is a 100% secure system out there, the point was the most popular OS using the most popular anti-virus was hacked by someone like me. Who has no hacking/cracking/coding experience at all! I just used common sense….If such an obvious bug got through Norton's nets, what does that say about the company?

Good one mate !!
But lemme tell u a fact..non of the so called “secure systems” are 100% secure in this earth ..there is a “hack” exist for everything…after all “humans” code “machines” and “To Err Is Human, To Forgive Divine” ..So if you are really looking to make things better/secure you can initiate and report the “bug” instead of asking quesions in a remote forum.
That's how bugs get fixed !!

Anyone know what registry key setting is preventing me from being able to clear the logs? The CLEAR button in the log viewer is greyed out…

Why bother killing processes when you can just change two registry keys from 1 (00000001) to 0 (00000000):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\Security]
“UseVPUninstallPassword”=dword:00000000
“LockUnloadServices”=dword:00000000
