The virus that was used for Sony, seems like McAfee is referring to it as Trojan-Wiper, Is this the same name Symantec refers to it as? Is there any write up on it and also are we protected with the latest definations against this virus / malware?
No. The one is called Backdoor.Destover. See here:

attached is what McAfee's write up is on the virus, I am looking for something comparable from Symantec. I do not think destover is the one.

It's the same one. Just different names
New blog just posted:
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/destover-destructive-malware-has-links-attacks-south-korea
ok, so we are looking for virus that was linked with Sony, not south korea.
The Sony hack is being blamed on SK. This is the same one.
ok thanks, as per Symantec Phone Support, they are saying Trojan.Jokra, I think Destover uses the components of Jokra in some ways?
Yes, it's in the blog link I just posted. But there are multiple components to this so expect some names to chane/be added.
Thanks!
