Response to "AVG updates are Lightning Fast compared to NIS"

There is an old saying "Its better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". SSBC, take heed.

NIS2009 and NAV2009 sport a completely redesigned LiveUpdate engine. This was discussed at length during the Beta. It was one of the 300+ performance improvements that Symantec made for the 2009 products. The results were spectacular. It now takes under 4 seconds to check for updates. Download updates typically take under 30 seconds.

Speaking about size of updates. If AVG updates are less than 1MB, Norton's updates with the new "Pulse Update" feature are around a few KB. Yes, they come down every 5 minutes and they are a few kilobytes.

SSBC.. you are clueless.
