RE: NAV Virus Definitions

[Heavner, Charlie]

We actually had a batch of sigs lock up a bunch of PCs about 18 months ago. I've talked to Symantec via Platinum support and they tell me that they test sigs but can not possibly duplicate all environments that sigs could be deployed in. Also, Symantec has released sigs that reported false positives and we try to minimize that event.

Don't use Norton but I don't test the signature files from Network Associates either.  Am I missing something, such that I should start to test the signature files?

I have briefly mentioned this one in another thread but I'd like to get a broader response.

 

Does anybody TEST their Symantec Norton Anti-Virus signature files before making them available to production networked clients.

OS's concerning me are: Win95 OSR2, WinNT4 SP4  and SP6, Win2K Pro.

Versions of NAV include: 4.08, 5.0, 7.5ce.

 

Thanks for any feedback,

Charlie
