• Symantec Endpoint Protection dies again

    What’s with these folks at Symantec?

    Catalin Cimpanu reports in ZDNet:

    For the fourth time in three months, a Symantec security product is crashing user apps, and this time it’s the latest Chrome release, v78, which rolled out earlier this week, on Tuesday, October 22… According to the antivirus maker, the issues are only affecting SEP 14 users on Windows 10 RS1 [I think he's referring to Redstone 1, which probably means any recent version of Win10 -WL], Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2016 operating systems. Symantec users on other OS versions can fix this by updating to the latest SEP 14.2 release…

    The issue of SEP crashing Chrome 78 browsers should have not surprised Symantec staff, who received early warnings about this more than three months ago, according to a bug report filed in early August while Chrome 78 was still in testing in the Canary channel.

    Remember how Symantec didn’t figure out how to work with the revised SHA-2 update signing requirement for Windows 7?
