Sameer , this is not an issue as such. The defintions release has been delayed because of some reasons.

Share this link http://www.symantec.com/en/in/business/security_response/definitions.jsp

this needs to be fixed soon

Maybe definations delays for some reasons but viruses wont be delayed. With more that 12,000 new viruses released daily we need it now!

I wish Symantec will notify us if the certified def is delayed

I wish Symantec will notify us if the certified def is delayed. defs are supposed updated few times a day, I have a script to check whether my SEPM are getting new def each day, sounds like Symantec will not skip 08/15 and release def on 08/16, if this is the case, Symantec should notify the customers so that we do not need to spend time to troubleshoot the issue internally.

I was wondering if  the rapid release definitions from the link are for client installs or if I can install it for the manager and then update my clients from there?  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
