It's 260.6Kb's and the 2nd this week.Your total should now read 64553 defs!

Cheers,Kiwitas,;-)

My previous update to 12/11/03 was for 59 new definitions to 65530.

This one goes to 17/11/03 and takes it to 64553 according to NAV.

I seem to have lost 977 definitions! :(

I missed seeing how many new ones there were this time. Maybe it was 23 and the total should be 65553 instead of 64553?

Yeah,my figures are the same as yours for last 2 updates!

Looks like Symantec has screwed up?

192863 2003-11-18 09:53:00 Hi Guys

If you read the whatsnew.txt file that comes with every NAV update you will find that they regularly purge old definitions, and sometimes one new def replaces several old variants. It wouldn't account for 900 odd but it does cause the numbers to go backwards from time to time.

Cheers
