norton av stuff...

uh oh, this is kinda' scary. now you can get a preview of coming attractions on the symantec av download site. there's a new link that says:

"Click here to download pre-release virus definitions"

symantec.com

the explanation appears to be:

"Pre-release definitions are an early look at what will be available
in the official weekly virus definition release. When the
certification testing has been completed these definitions will be
made available via LiveUpdate and the Download Updates page"


considering that recent offerings (that have supposedly undergone 'certification testing') have been a tad buggy, i can't see a big rush to download definitions that have not been tested.

but the edge is a place where some like to reside...
