Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

I see that yet again there appears to be issues with the V.D.s release which, from a company like symantec, I would expect better.  If anyone can shed light on this, I would be very greatful.  This should not be happening in the first place.  Thanks!  :)

Hello Red

Yes, it's going on 29 hours without an update. I don't think that St. Patty's Day has anything to do with it...I guess their system can break down also. At least the pulse definitions are still coming out.

It appears that there are still issues regarding this, and it would be great and very helpful if someone from symantec Security Respose could explain why these issues keep on re-appearing week after week, which should not be happening.  Than k-You.

Hello

Yes, you are right. There are like 2 antivirus updates again that are behind schedule. I know that the complexity of the malware may have something to do with it not happening, but a smaller update is better than no update. I know the malware is probably changing more rapidly than the new updates can keep up with it.

I'm only 1 behind and I'm sure they'll come out. it just seems to be a bit different than they use too be. I use to get new VD with a new date a few mornings a week, Now I get a VD update in the morning the VD date doesn't change untill I get another one later that day........Thanks.....The Gorp

Hello GORPY1

I usually get 3 antivirus definitions a day Tues, thru Sat. and 2 on Sunday and Monday with corresponding idle quick scans after those updates. It's now over 24 hours since my last idle quick scan and no updated antivirus definitions listed on the Symantec website either  for 3/26. Perhaps they have changed their schedules without informing any one. This seems to be happening on the weekends, so maybe it's something new. I guess how many updates you get in a day also depends on how much your computer is on, but the Symantec website usually shows when the definitions have come out.

I'm a little confused, what page are you guys looking at? The following page says current defs are 3/26:

http://www.symantec.com/norton/security_response/definitions.jsp

My product shows current defs too... maybe they just updated and now this is a moot point? :)

Three V.D. - Monday to Friday.

Two V.D. - Saturday and Sunday.

The above should always happen.

No V.D. have yet been Release for March 26, 2010, although there is a planned 26/03/2010, Revision 019, which should be getting released shortly; only one was Released yesterday, so it means all symantec Products are at least 27 Hours' behind., although, Norton 2009/2010 Products do have Pulse Updates, but these are not enough as they do not back-log.

symantec have got great Norton 2010 Products, but this is totally un-acceptable of symantec Security Response.

-------------------------------------------

26/03/2010, Revision 19, has been Released.
