NIS 2013 - How often should I get Web Protection Definitions - not had any for days

Hi there

 

I have had NIS 2013 since 6th Sept 2012 and so far the Live Updates are working fine - all updating and no errors.  I have been manually running Live Update after the computer has been off overnight and checking the updates are all successful. So far so good.

 

But today I realsied I hadn't seen any Norton Web Protection Definitions in a while.

 

I went back through the history of Live Updates and can see that for the first week since installation I had Norton Web Protection Definitions updates every day - sometimes severeal times a day.

 

Since 13th September I haven't had any Norton Web Protection Definitions.

 

Live Update shows successful, there aren't any more updates or any failed ones. Autofix shows the program is working properly.

 

Is this normal?

 

I am on Windows XP SP3.  Any advice would be really appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi there

 

Thanks.  I still haven't got used to trusting something to work without me checking things and I don't know enough about this to know what's what..

 

I understand your reply - thanks for your help.

Shep1,

Feel free to keep checking. The automatic updates usually grab only the most important [critical] stuff. Running live update manually from time to time gets the rest of the bits and bytes necessary for the best level of protection.

Please visit often and help where you can. Then do like the rest of us and read and learn the rest of the time :smileywink:

Glad I was able to help
