Symantec (AstroVet) created an expectation when (on 8/31) he said, "over the course of the next few days we expect to have the patch fully deployed to all connected customers".
Judging by comments here and on the NIS forum a large number of people don't have the latest version yet and aren't happy about it. So, it really comes down to what does a "few days" mean. To me it means 3 or 4 days. We're at 6 days now. Tomorrow it will be a week (definitely more than a few days). There would be a lot less noise and customer frustration if AstroVet had said somethng like; "within 2 weeks", or by September XX" .
Ok, someone from Symantec, please put a boundry on when we can expect everyone that routinely uses NIS and 360 to have the new patched versions. It will reduce the negative noise on these forums and go some way to satisfying rather than annoying many of your customers.
