The data is being cached
The data is being cached anyway. Can this be made available to the user in an XLSX or maybe even csv format ?....Just for circulation within the team.
De facto when AV does something, it starts jumping up and down, waving its arms, and shouting "Hey! I found a virus! Look at me! I'm soooo goooood!"
I wish we could see the spam
I wish we could see the spam counts generated from the top countries and continents.

Thanks - we are considering how to incorporate spam and phishing stats into the next version of the screensaver.
Best,

My thoughts
Another nice idea would be to have a way to tie this to our own environment and pull real time stats of attacks going on in our environment as well. would love to be able to have my help desk able to see that at a glance on a monitor on the wall in their room. I know that would probably be a tall order to do but would be a nice thing to have someday.
More Ideas
I would love a graphical breakdown of hot regions for viruses and maybe a scrolling bar across the bottom displaying the top 10 virus threat trends.
Suggestions

For the sake of "saving" the screens make sure that none of the graphics stays in place for the entire slide show.
And some of these are already in place, but this is the data I want to see on screen:
- Top threats per region
- Top Spam domains, areas
- Latest vulnerabilities
- Latest fixes or virus that is included in the virus defs
- Histograph (maybe risk level or spam level)
Or just make a different one that can be integrated with the SEPM servers in a company and just get the realtime data like virus alerts and other notifications. Could be a slide show of the favorite reports.
With regards to proxy support, maybe make the SEPM server the proxy so that there won't be any necessary changes to be made on the firewall.

MR99 will fix it all.
Desktop Gadget
Symantec,
I would appreciate if your team could make it as a Desktop Gadget. Our network policies have a restriction on screensavers and any .SCR files get automatically removed. On the other hand desktop gadgets are fine as long as they are from legitimiate source and we can apply for approval.
At least me very frequently lookup to websites like VirusTotal and Jotti for even simple attachments to ensure my system does not befall as a prey to harmful vectors. Hence I am submitting this request to you to see if you could help with a desktop gadget (Windows 7) alongwith the screensaver stuff.
Would you like to reply?
