Re: Anti-Virus updates

said by Oleg See Profile :

I have notesed many Anti-Virus programs do not update on the weekends are those companies taking a break?
Yes. It's part of the agreement between A/V companies and malware writers. Kind of like 'happy hour'.

What law? The law of 'no weekend updates'?

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.
