No Warnings of out of date dat files[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#12)

I "inherited" a network at a rural hospital that had been very poorly managed. We're using Symantec AV Corp. Ed. After 4 months here, I'm still finding PCs that have not updated in periods ranging from a few weeks to over a year. Obviously, it had not been installed properly, but, still, it should be nagging and warning the user and the server every time someone touches it. I used TrendMicro where I used to work,and it was very easy to see what had updated and what had not. What good is an AV product that doesn't update for years on end, and doesn't send a message warning about the fact?

Propre instalation of Corp Edition requires a server that controls and monitors the application on the workstations if it is properly installed. We have been using it for quite some time and have only had update problems when the workstation runs out of drive space. You can even lock down the app so only the administrators can change the settings.
