Hi,
Does anyone know how to get the version number currently installed, of the virus definitions?
Other products usually show a date, version, etc. (menu... Help... About)
But here I'm unable to see anything like that.
Thanks
thanks

Antivirus scans and helps remove malware files that enter a computer, tablet or smartphone. Norton AntiVirus technology uses machine learning to determine if a file is good or bad, and can do so even if it’s the first time seeing that file.
Norton protection also uses “emulation” (running each file in a lightweight virtual machine) to cause online threats to reveal themselves – this happens in milliseconds as you double-click on files on your desktop. File signature data is now stored in the cloud, and Norton protection has undergone hundreds of optimizations on the antivirus engine to minimize impacting the user experience.
Norton security technology includes multiple defenses against viruses and malware. Our technology is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and we are part of one of the world’s largest civilian cyber intelligence networks. Our protection includes: [...]
Norton was one of the first antivirus solutions for Windows computers, and we’ve been innovating for decades to develop new ways to help protect PCs. Today, the antivirus protection in Norton solutions uses advanced machine learning and emulation to determine whether files are good or bad, but Norton device security also has more ways to help protect your computer beyond antivirus. Protection for PCs starts at the network-level, with Intrusion Prevention working together with the Smart Firewall to analyze network traffic and help block potential online threats before they get on your computer.
The technology that powers Norton protection for PC uses Reputation Protection (Insight) to analyze reputation data, a tool that uses the reputation information gathered from our global network to classify software application files. It includes Behavioral Protection (SONAR) to monitor and help block applications that exhibit suspicious behavior, also based on the learnings from our huge trove of data, and tools to help protect against “zero-day” attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in applications or the operating system.
