Symantec Product Hits End-of-decade Snafu
Symantec is warning that its Endpoint Protection Manager server product is marking signature updates issued this year as out of date, so it seems the transition to 2010 is having some similar problems in coding as the transition back in 2000. Some users running Windows Mobile OS 6.1 or 6.5 noticed that text messages sent after the new year are dated 2016, so Symantec is not alone. I can imagine more 2010 issues will become noticed as time goes on.
The problem affects the Endpoint Protection v11.x and v12.x versions of the company’s small business edition of the product. Antivirus, antispyware and intrusion protection updates with a date after Dec. 31, 2009, at 11:59 p.m. are considered out of date by the software, the company wrote on its blog. Symantec has worked around the problem by issuing updates with new revision numbers but with the Dec. 31 date while a permanent fix is developed.
