Earlier the automation for downloading the Intelligent Update was difficult because of the file naming convention which changed periodically (date wise). You can now download the appropriate static Intelligent Update package from the following Symantec FTP site.
ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton_antivirus_corp/static
Static Intelligent Update package name with the specific file format and link for full definitions is listed in the following table.
