Story: 'Swen' worm poses as security patch

re: keeping up to date on definitions.
NAV set for auto update. Every day it flashes a dialog box declaring my definitions not up to date. But when it goes to NAV website, invariably it immediately responds that the only Symantec product I have is Update and that there are no current updates that I need.
And, it indicates my last update to be weeks ago. The "old" date it is showing is my last manual update. When I recently downloaded the manual definitions package and initiated a full system scan, it came up with 2 unrepairable viruses. These conflicting messages leave me very uneasy about my NAV subscription.
