I know that it's working, too. I get tons of mytobb (sp?) emails on a daily basis and it finds those without any issues.

I'm just worried about it not getting the defs properly.

When you double click SAV icon in taskbar does it display the engine and what definition file it is using?

maybe use AVG as on demand AV?

As much as I trust ranschultz's comment, I'm still a tad paranoid. Which antivirus works best side-by-side with SAV Corp. 10?

I'm thinking about just setting up AVG and letting them run together.

Opinions?

»service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/na···_doc_nam

and or repair LU
»service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sh···vl=&seg=

or as ranschultz said earlier in the thread
"If all you're getting is this "End Program" dialog box, I wouldn't worry. It looks like the application that detects missing definitions is taking a little while to shutdown, so, you get this notice from Windows, but, within that 1 to 1 1/2 seconds it does shut down."

I've tried updating definitions in safe mode. Also tried uninstalling/reinstalling -- no dice.

Any ideas...anyone?

Since this is Corporate Edition, is it perhaps just looking for its "parent server" back at school and failing to find definitions on it?

There's also a NAVCE config file that you can reset for LiveUpdate issues; sorry don't recall the name. There was a separate managment utility for this a few years ago.

I manage to get screenshot of the error. It only happens when I shutdown the system or reboot it. The antivirus has no problems scanning for viruses or anything. This occurs only during shutdown or reboot. It will pop up for 1 sec or so before shutdown.

Thanks.
That's pretty strange. I wonder if it is somehow related to LU being enabled. Have you tried disabling LU and rebooting a few times to see if it still occurs? just grasping at straws

Missing Virus Definitions

Its very funny you see, when shutdown/restart the system right usually if there is program still running it will open a pop up box to cancel etc.. well ever since I installed Sysmantec Antivirus Corp into this new hdd/OS. I get this pop but... I get to see it only 1- 1 1/2 secs before windows shutdown/reboot without caring.

Here is the thing I uninstall and reinstall Symantec Antivirus its still the same problem... I never seen this back in other OS.

thank you.
