Usually, weekly. HOWEVER, that doesn't hold them back from doing it as needed also. But they have a scheduled update weekly. Usually Tues AM

I thought that was odd, so I went to their web site. Sure enough, on the home page, there was a huge warning about the virus. At that time, the virus def said 4173. This finally gave me the excuse I needed to rip that junk off my server, and install ScanMail. So far, I am loving the new program. -----Original Message----- From: Lynn Karen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 5:12 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: *** Warning *** New Virus - W32.goner.a@mm Odd ... when I looked before I went home last night (about 3 hours before your message) it quite clearly said 4174 was needed: different information in different parts of the site??
