An issue has been identified in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) server whereby all types of SEP definition content [AV/AS, IPS] with a date greater than December 31, 2009 11:59pm are considered to be “out of date”.
Customers running SEP are still protected, and we are continuing to release updated definitions as normal. However, for the time being, SEP definitions will display a date of December 31, 2009, with increasing revision numbers. Current certified definitions are December 31, 2009 rev 114 and contain updates through January 2, 2010.
Symantec is working on a solution and will update customers when a solution becomes available.
IMPORTANT: This issue does not impact any other enterprise products (e.g. SAV or SCS) or consumer products.
