Hy Henry,

infections, many of which are not detected by our Symantec
NAV Corporate edition (with up to the minute definitions).
i keep submitting files to Symantec, and they keep sending
me back responses that, yes, my file is infected, and with
the latest definitions i'll catch this latest variant.

...
Maybe the "automatic update" don't catch the actual definitions (synchronisation takes some days??!)


        you are correct.

Please try to update from http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html

        i've done that. catches some, not the others.

Different to automatic?

well, yes. they release new definitions every hour. of course, after i submit a new variant, the new definitions catch that particular variant. but it ends up being a game of whack-a-mole, and i have to sit around and wait for them to update their defs anyway...

        this is why i want to know more about the infection
        mechanism :> i guess it's time to break out the packet
        sniffer.

        regards,
        henry
