Just got a new off the shelf PC, manufactured on 13th Nov 2003. Comes with NAV2003 and virus definitions from late 2002 installed. This is on a modelthat has been shipping for less than two months. Probably is not worth mentioning
that windowsupdate provided with 10+ critical and 10+ other updates (the OS had Service Pack 1 installed)The box should have been labeled "donĀ“t connect this device to the public internet".
