[WARNING] Remote Desktop weakness

[Valentin N]

This is written by lordergf 2012-05-07 at norton community forums. I assume the writter is using Norton 360 Version 6.0

n automatic mode firewall of Norton 360 allow inside connection without any reaction.With this function in Windows some friends of mine showed me how is easy to control my PC without my knowledge! In any network they just know my IP to take control. I seen this with my own eyes and made my self some tests and Norton is vulnerable.And i disable remote desktop and put password on my accounts. Make something like Kaspersky( see the picture)

Yes I know of this valentin. IF you know the IP you can also initiate a remote shutdown from another pc.
