Re: Opinions on the security of antivirus software

["H. Morrow Long" <morrow.long () yale edu>]

Symantec's (e.g. Norton Anti-Virus) LiveUpdate uses a PKI and 
public key certificates to verify digitally 'signed' updates
as well as a/v signatures (e.g. there is a 'root CA' cert in
your local Symantec LiveUpdate installation with which it
verifies the update and signature files downloaded).
