    It seems that either the definitions on the client are not updated or the installation is corrupt.

    If the definitions are not updated you can update them using intelligent updater from the following link

    http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/download/pages/US-SAVCE.html

    If the above does not work then repair the client.

    Hi,

    The first easy step to do when you get this errro is to try to restart the Symantec Event Manager service, and answer Yes to the question about also restart Symantec Endpoint Protection service.
