Is this what you think?  Here's a scenario (one that actually happened). It's Thursday and a new virus has been detected. McAffee and Norton imediately add it to their definitions. Come Monday the virus gets sent to the office and McAfee happily detects it BUT wait Norton is letting it through? WTF! Turns out Norton only updates it's Live Update definitions on Wednesdays!!
Not sure what is going on with the Norton you have experience with but I just checked my virus def date and it shows 3/26...a Friday. And I NEVER run LiveUpdate manually. So what is this about only doing it on Wednesdays?
