If you're running Corporate Edition, you won't be getting the patch via LiveUpdate. You need to call their tech support line with your serial number or contact/contract number, and they'll give you the information (FTP site and password) for obtaining the 9.0 MR3 update for SAV Corporate Edition. This updates the software to version 9.0.3.1000
Some of the earlier Maintenance Releases aren't vulnerable either, but MR3 is the newest. If you're still on vanilla 9.0.0.338, you need to update ASAP, the same applies if you're on the update revision that made SAV CE work with the Windows SP2 Security Control Panel, version 9.0.0.1400.
Since it's "Corporate Edition", Symantec assumes that you're managing these desktops and wants to control when you push patches to them, so now you get to do just that.  The good news is that you can use the remote client installer to just lay the new version over the old one via the network (or push a new .msi file via Group Policy, or run the update in a login script). Make sure you upgrade your servers before doing the clients, Symantec (or at least the rep I talked to) suggests completely removing the server (via add/remove programs) and installing the new version, not merely doing an upate. |
