The Symantec Alert Block is a block-based module for Xoops 2.0.5.x. When installed and visible, it displays the latest alerts from Symantec's Anti-Virus Research Center (SARC).
Because of the nature of the SARC reporting script, users will need Javascript enabled in order to view this block correctly.

The alerts are retrieved from Sophos.com through an XML document that is read once every 8 hours.
