hiho

i just saw Nortons updating itself and wondered about the updater.
i assume it is connecting to a server at symantec somewhere that dishes out the new definitions of there is any.

but i was wondering how do i know where it is connecting? has there ever been a virus that can hijack this process and redirect the updater to somewhere else or prevent the prog updating altogether? how does NAV know it is connected to the right place etc?

just wondering any comments welcome
