Autoupdate always runs a generic update for virus updates

[Michael Freeman]

Im running F-Secure. When Autoupdate runs on the hour there are 4
messages as shown.

 

Dec 13 04:07:39 srv08 update.virus.scanners: Found f-secure installed

Dec 13 04:07:39 srv08 update.virus.scanners: Running autoupdate for
f-secure

Dec 13 04:07:47 srv08 update.virus.scanners: Found generic installed

Dec 13 04:07:47 srv08 update.virus.scanners: Running autoupdate for
generic

 

Autoupdate for f-secure is fine, but why does MS also run an autoupdate
for generic? I would think that if autoupdate for f-secure runs then the
second or at least generic version should not be running. How can this be
fixed?
