Why an Updated Virus Definition so important?

Anti-virus works using a database of known virus definitions that the software compare with detected potential threat. Unless the particular virus definition for the virus is in the computer at the point of scanning, the software will not be able to capture such virus. This is the most common reason for failure to detect. Some people use outdated anti-virus; don't even think about it!!

Symantec users should keep their anti-virus updated using automatic updating. It updates the definition every Wednesday.

If you prefer to update the definition everyday, use the intelligent update link below:
