No my AV is NOD32,but they are outside of US maybe this is why.

The last time I checked a map, Reykjavik IS (the home of F-Prot) was also outside the US. What is your point?

They're always working, but I think they don't QA the defs until the weekday, or if there's a breakout of some nasty virus.

At Symantec they work until 5pm, then work a half hour with the team in Japan (I think), then they take over there to work their shift, then do the same for the next location, etc.

With the latest Norton, they send out multiple daily updates now. With AVG, there are weekend updates.

symantec only does virus updates on wednesdays, or at least they used too
Norton has tons of work to do before you can call it Good Anti-Virus.

Some companies simply have no respect for the law.

. . malware makers do not care about the law.
What law? The law of 'no weekend updates'?
No the law or agreement of not making malware on weekends.
You've got that backwards.
The law states that A/V companies cannot update on weekends, thereby giving malware writers a fair chance, whilst also propagating, promoting, and proliferating the symbiotic relationship between the two factions.

I think it may be against the law to speak of this, however.

Malware writers are on the summer schedule, now that Daylight Savings Time has started - no malware writing over the weekends.
