Subject: symantec inconsistency

Can anyone tell me what Symantec means on their website under 'latest 
threats' where it says 'Protection' and it shows July 9, 2004?
ex. W32.KorgoX   discovered - July 9, 2004  protection - July 9, 2004.
If I run a live update, I get latest defs labeled 07/07/2004.  According 
to their latest virus threats list I am vulnerable to 4 viruses since 
then, why the discrepancy?
I am dealing with a virus right now that is not caught by symantec latest 
defs.
