Hi Ken, If you buy a site license of Norton, you can build a custom distribution which includes a liveupdate.hst file that points the Macs to a local server. Jane
Has anyone here found an antivirus solution for MAC's that provides automatic updating of the signature files for workstations from a server location? Norton-AV for example provides "liveupdate", but that requires connecting to Symantec site to download the signatures to every client which can be rather burdensome. Anyone know of a solution that can provide regular updates for MAC antivirus without that burden?
