Symantec released a SyKnApps update last week for Symantec Endpoint Protection 11. The update notice I received didn’t say much, just that “The new revision of
SyKnApps improves the performance and overall functionality of TruScan.” The email also said the update was available through liveupdate.
I had been wondering if the update would reach SEP clients who get their updates from a corporate SEPM server. By comparing file versions, I found that it appeared my internal clients did get c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\symantec\syknapps\syknapps.dll updated.
A Symantec KnowledgeBase article confirms this belief. It specifically says running liveupdate on SEPM will update the clients. It also confirms that this update fixes the cosmetic bug where the SEP client GUI displays the Proactive Threat definitions as July 30th.
