Considering all you have been told so far, it would seem that Symantec might have been working on two completed updates at the same time. I would give them the benfit of the doubt. It's not that Norton forgets about us few remaining users of NAV One of the Signatures in your Current I. I was under the understanding that as soon as Norton released new sigs, I was protected by my daily updates before I get the IWP sig file? Reese, can you clarify for me?
I just want to make sure I'm protected regardless of when I receive the updated sig file as such. This is why it is important to keep up-to-date with new Rules and Signatures whenever they get Released. But yeah, Signatures all cover each other, so, the Threat Modifies it-self and the exact Signature for the File has not got this Modification, then another Signature will cover it; this other Signature could be called "Suspicious Download Activity 1 ", for example.
Most virus signatures tend to detect a specific threat or threat family whereas IPS signatures are generally detecting attempts to exploit a vulnerability that may be on your system. The aforementioned types of virus signatures are reactive -- they can only be created after a threat has been created and deployed. The aforementioned IPS signatures are created when a vulnerability is discovered, usually before any threat is ever created.
Because the IPS signatures protect against a vulnerability attack, they can protect against many unknown threats. The response team starts to write IPS signatures the moment they find out about a vulnerability, which is frequently before any public disclosure of issue. The team's priority is to release the signature, for the platform that could be affected, before the vulnerability is publically disclosed.
There are other factors involved as well, but these are some of the factors that determine when IPS signatures are deployed for various platforms. I like it and don't want to change right now, but i want to make sure its providing me safety. As reese mentioned, they are usually Released Weekly; it will be now-and-again that they will be Released two to three weeks.

Not sure what it should be for NAV Message Edited by dbrisendine on AM. All my other defs are updated daily, actually twice daily I have my def updates set to check every 3 hours but I notice that there are actually 2 new updates daily Somebody once told me that the updated defs contain a version of the sig updates too so I'm protected daily with the latest worm protection Might a Norton staffer address this for me?
Again- sorry NAV version Reg: Apr Success always occurs in private and failure in full view. Windows 10 Pro 64 bit N Because they detect attempts to exploit vulnerabilities and aren't signature based in the traditional sense they don't need to be updated for every new threat that is created -- one detection catches everything, now and in the future, that would try to exploit the vulnerability.
There also isn't one set of signatures for all products and platforms; your NAV will receive different signatures than NIS which will receive different signatures from NIS The usual case is because the older product doesn't have the core technology to implement the detection and one of the other protection technologies will be used to detect the same threat.
