Question

Halo,

using Ednpint Security and Control 10.0.

The virus data date from 06.08.2012.

The last update was today (07.09.2012), but I still have the old definitions.

I think this might be a problem.

Nice weekend, O. Schumann.

Hello isle-gmbh (or O.), 4.80G is correct as probably 385 for the number IDEs (or Erkennungsdateien as we German speakers prefer to say :smileywink:). which is now 396. Datum der Virendaten ( Virus data date ) refers to the date of the libraries ("VDL"). IDEs (which complement the VDLs) contain one or more new or updated definitions and are issued constantly (usually every few hours). The VDLs are consolidated about once a month, i.e. the bigger part of the individual IDEs is then integrated into a library and obsolete entries are removed. The virus data version is incremented (thus we'll probably see 4.81 in the next days). The relevant date is the Letztes Update ( Last updated ) date, strictly speaking the number of IDEs is what to look for - you can compare your numbers to the ones found on the  Download latest virus identity (IDE) files page.
