Warning - NAV users - get the intelligent updater once or twice a week even if...

Heaven lent you a soul Earth will lend a grave.

He is not wise that is not wise for himself.

Aren't you being a bit tentative?

"It sounds like the real Tholen, and it does seem to monitor
comp.sys.OS2.advocacy, but... Jesus Tapdancing Christ, did the real
Tholen sound this much like a badly written attempt at an Eliza-type
program? I'm starting to wonder if this is the real Tholen, or merely
an uncanny simulation created as an act of UPA." -- Dick Hertz

 

Well, sometimes Kaspersky AV updates every 3 hours, that says something
about Norton doesn't it

....Live Update says you don't need new definitions.

I've gotten lots of email attachments recently that were caught only
after I had explicitly downloaded the current definitions
("intelligent updater") even though "Live Update" said I didn't need
new definitions.

And they also got past my ISP's copy of NAV for mail servers or
whatever.

IMHO whoever is deciding when LU should update definitions ain't being
agressive enough.

If you want a second opinion you can get a DOS-based AV scanner from
ftp.f-prot.com and it weighs in at < 4 megs unzipped and sometimes
their definitions which cover a particular virus come out earlier than
NAV's.

 

Does that make you jealous?

 

I don't know for sure if it's true or not, but someone told me that
the automatic live update only did definition updates and that you had
to initiate a manual update to get programme updates.

Just a couple of days ago, after a task bar message popped up saying
my virus definitions had been updated, I did a manual live update and
got a number of program updates - it actually did one which told me to
reboot and then to run liveupdate again to get more updates - which it
did. So I'm convinced.

So I do a manual update every few days just to be sure to be sure.....
