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

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20463242 Sat, 10 May 2008 21:51:22 EDT Re: Anti-Virus updates http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20463174 Exidor :

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20462477 Sat, 10 May 2008 17:53:48 EDT Re: Anti-Virus updates http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20462456 Oleg :
