Endpoint Protection

Hello, first posting here and have just finished installing a Test Endpoint Manager and a workstation.

things seem to be working ok but why do i see this as the latest version of the definitions?

Antivirus and antispyware definitions Win32 11.0 MicroDefsB.CurDefs

2009-12-31 rev. 124

January 13, 2010 6:23:44 AM MST

so it went out to the site to pull it down at 6:23am but the date of the file is 12-31?  is this right?  is it current?

i manually went to the FTP and downloaded the latest and forced it to update.  same result.

thanks for any thoughts on this.

Its an ongoing issue, please follow this thread

2010 defintions for MR3 has been released however you will have to wait for few days if you have any other version of SEPM.

Do not go by date as it is just a cosmetic flaw you are protected with the lastest signatures with revision number.
From 2010 only the revision number is getting update dates haven't been released for SEPM.

 thanks for that.  i'll keep tabs on that thread.

i sure don't like the forum engine they use.

 Ya sure get subscribed to the thread and you will keep getting notification email...
