I pulled down the ISO for the bootable CD version of NRD 2010.
It boots fine and using the wired network connection it appears to fetch updates.
I say it appears to fetch the updates as the main screen loads, then a pop-up window appears with a progress bar and it indicates it is downloading updates for several minutes.
But when complete and the pop-up update window closes the bottom of the screen still says:
"Virus Definitions current as of: Sat. October 3rd 2009"
The "About" panel has the same information.
I have tried this on two different computers and two different ISPs with the same result it appears to update, but does not really do so.
Opening the command window and reviewing the IPConfig /all shows a valid IP configuration in both cases.
Other info that might be helpful:
both test computers have WIRED connections
neither ISP requires authentication
both test setups use RoadRunner cable
one was behind a router, the other plugged directly into the cable modem
DHCP was enabled
No proxy
1Gb RAM in both machines.
standard NIC - Thinkpad R52 in one case, ThinkCenter desktop (Intel Pro 1000) in the other case
Any tips would be appreciated!
Thanks!
