AIS a/v definitions question
« on: March 31, 2012, 10:09:09 PM »
Do definition updates over write previous definitions or do they all accumulate? In other words do they take up more space on the hard drive?

The definitions do grow over time - then an update will prune them all down, as malware disappears or merges with other types
But the actual space taken (considering todays hard drive sizes) is minimal
