Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

I noticed that Symantec has a real problem synchronizing their Intelligent Update with LiveUpdates. For example this week's Intelligent Update came out on Wednesday February 28, 2007 but I cannot get LiveUpdate to get it. Right now on March 1,2007 at 0950 PST I still cannot get it. The LiveUpdate still thinks the February 21, 2007 virus definitions are current which they are not. I can verify this with opening Norton AntiVirus which shows the definitions date of February 21, 2007. Also converse is true where the LiveUpdate is update early but I cannot current get the Intelligent Update from their website for that week. It is worst for Macintosh Platform but it is not as bad for the other platforms they support.
