I too would like to have the list. If s0nic has norton however, then it is a list that norton alerts you when new virus definitions are available.

Well, in that case, your virus protection updates itself until it expires. From then, you need to manually update it.

i autoupdate all the time but theres always a concern that something Norton has'nt covered and looks ok could cripple you, deligence is required..
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. -

Ditto. I didn't know Symantec had a virus alert thing going on. That's a pretty novel idea. I just went there and signed up. All interested can do the same: http://nct1.symantecstore.com/virusalert/.
