Hi group

Using ver. 6.1.7.0 under XP, I selected "just remind me to download the
Virus Update", every 3 days.
The "interactive update" flag was set already.
But after 3 days the EZ antivirus does not remind me, although it will be
loaded, the icon appears in the taskbar
and it's no problem to do the update manually. I crosschecked this behavior
on 3 rigs.
Any hints out there from the net ?

I was just reading about the changes in 6.1.7.0 and that problem
was caused by a previous version update. This update was to have
fixed it. Since I have seen no purpose in leaving v6.1.3.1 [Win98],
and have never used the reminder function, I haven't experienced it.

I'm sure an email to (e-mail address removed) stating that for your XP
system, the 'fix didn't', would get a quick response.

Also an 'old' note of information from CA:

"Q: What is the release schedule for InoculateIT signature updates? "

"A: Responding to customers' requests, Computer Associates is switching
to daily signature updates. Starting Monday, September 16, 2002, virus
signature updates for eTrust Antivirus 6 / eTrust InoculateIT 6 will be
released daily *on U.S. working days.* The daily signature updates are
released during the afternoon hours Eastern Time. Signature updates for
Inoculan / InoculateIT 4.x will continue to be released on *Mondays and
Thursdays* and as required during virus emergencies. "

Due to the above and time permitting, I would recommend daily updating,
whether they fix the scheduler or not.
