46930 2002-05-03 08:42:00 I have two computers.

Both have Nortons Systemworks - one with 2001 Standard the other 2002 Professional.

Both are updated every Friday morning, at the same time.

This morning the only update available for both was Virus Definitions.

2001 had 300KB of definitions, but 2002 only had 144KB. I have noticed this difference before.

Does 2001 protect against more viruses than 2002 or does 2002 cram more info into each KB?

The utilities are not as comprehensive in 2002 either even though I paid the extra for Professional edition in order to get Ghost.

Any comments?

46931 2002-05-03 09:41:00 It must be the way the data is packaged for the two systems. They wouldn't both providing virus updates for some viruses in one and not the other. Would be stupid and would really upset people.
Mind you, that hasn't stopped other companies doing things in a way that costs more and upsets people.

robo.

I manage the corprate edition
version 7 something and each time we update its a 3 -4 meg download. Go figure..

Still saves time on loading on 20 units

Its all in the packaging I think..
