Symantec keeps improving the beta version of its anti-virus

Norton Antivirus 21 beta has received a new update today, so users are strongly recommended to perform the update as soon as possible.

Version 2014 21.0.0.100 Beta comes with fixes supposed to address a number of bugs spotted in the previous builds, but also to improve the overall performance on the app on specific hardware configurations.

Symantec claims that some issues are still there in the app, including Windows 8.1 Preview compatibility issues that would prevent the anti-virus from running on a number of computers.

In addition, consumers are commended to avoid using “the Intelligent Updater (from the Security Response site) to manually update the definitions, as they’re not compatible with 21.0 and will cause issues,” as the developing team noted.

Otherwise, the new build should be a bit more stable, so a slightly improved experience should be provided after you deploy the update.
