What does “Virus definitions are out of date” mean?
K-Staters who install version 9 of Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (SAVCE) should immediately receive the message “Virus definitions are out of date”. This means the accompanying virus-definition files are old and also need to be updated to protect against the latest known viruses. Just click the Live Update button in SAVCE to update your virus definitions. If you continue to receive the message after clicking “Live Update”, then something is wrong. You may need to uninstall and reinstall the software. Why are the definitions outdated when you first install the new version? When the new version is created, only the virus definitions current at that time are saved with the install files. K-State’s install was created several months ago, so the virus definitions are also several months old. Therefore, updating the definitions via Live Update is needed.
