Antivirus insecurity at Black Hat 

 Warning that the popularity of antivirus software could turn the defensive 
measure into a security risk, security researchers plan to outline 
vulnerabilities in antivirus products on stage at the Black Hat Briefings 
conference that kicks off today in Las Vegas. "We're going to show that it is 
a credible threat and demonstrate exploits," said Neel Mehta of Internet 
Security System. In the past year, ISS has discovered bugs in products from 
security software makers Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro and F-Secure.
