Symantec revealed yesterday that parts of the code for some of their very popular security products have been stolen.. their advice to you?  Turn some of the features off until they release a fix.

From FoxNews.com:

Symantec is advising customers to disable one of its products, after hackers revealed the theft of the underlying code powering the software earlier this month.
