Do you know ANYTHING about software development and production releases when there's a customer base of tens of millions?
Didn't think so.
Microsoft has the same difficult problem, and they routinely take weeks to produce patches; occasionally they get it down to a couple days in a major emergency. It's the nature of the beast.
I’m talking about the AV scanner and fixing of a machine that was attacked. Not patching the HUGE hole that allows this to happen.
Do you not know in the A/V world virus signature updates need to go out immediately for a new threat? Oh wait, I guess you don’t you use Macs and you thought you didn’t have to worry about such things.
