Our low bandwidth networks are showing a huge amount of Symantec data.  Looking at our SEPM server, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\content folder contains two folders from around 2:15AM EST that are over 12GB!  Is this right?  Why such a large update?

Showing the same thing here, both were 12.9 GB with a time stamp of 1:39am and 1:43am CST. Unless a Symantec employee comments on it here, I would suggest a call to support.

If you look in the files, they are for different days though, roughly 650 MB in size each. I don't think this was from an update last night though. I have 2 new files in there from last night each is about 650-660 MB

For SEP 12:

{535CB6A4-441F-4e8a-A897-804CD859100E}:
SEPC Virus Definitions Win32 v12.1 - MicroDefsB.CurDefs - SymAllLanguages
Antivirus and Antispyware 32 bit defs

{07B590B3-9282-482f-BBAA-6D515D385869}:
SEPC Virus Definitions Win64 (x64) v12.1 - MicroDefsB.CurDefs - SymAllLanguages
Antivirus and Antispyware 64 bit defs 

 

The monthly HUB definitions for AV were recently released, judging by the size of the download on my LUA server.   I don't know of fthe top of my head why that would be 10 GB more in those two folders.
