> What about the bugtraq posting?

That's what you do when you find a bug.  You post it to bugtraq.  
That couldn't even remotely be considered talking to a journalist.

ZoneLabs was notified.  ZoneLabs hasn't taken appropriate action-- 
that's MY call to make.

As for working 'with you', I've tried... Have you tried to work with 
me?  Have you been truthful?

In your own words:

'Having said this there is always a chance that on an insecure 
operating system like Windows someone finds a way around both 
layers. However that would be of a much more limited scope then the 
'redesign' your source is suggesting. Normally if such a rare 
instance comes to our attention we rapidly issue a fix and 
automatically notify the affected users that an upgrade is 
available.'

We seem to have had a 'rare instance.'

Rapidly?  You've had nearly a month.  All I've seen is one buggy 
'fix' that silently dropped valid packets.  No option.  No choice.  
Just dropped the packets.  That isn't a 'fix', it's a 
marketing-driven hack.

And you *still* haven't answered my question.
