30A02.TXT - Description file for NAV 3.0's definitions update
AntiVirus Lab, SYMANTEC/Peter Norton Product Group
December 1, 1993
******************************************************************
Loading New Definitions
To update NAV 3.0 or NAV for NetWare 1.0 with new virus definitions,
do the following:
Note: The files contained on this disk, referred to as a virus
definition update set, completely replaces the corresponding
files contained within the product. Only the latest virus
definition set is required to update the product.
******************************************************************
For NAV 3.0, from DOS:
1) Insert the definition update disk into the floppy disk drive.
(The example below uses A: drive.)
2) To update the definition files, type the following at the DOS prompt:
COPY A:\NAV30\VIR*.* C:\NAV
where "C:\NAV" is the directory where your antivirus software is
installed.
3) Run NAV and invoke the scanning of a file, directory, or drive.
(Running NAV to scan something will make NAV recognize that a new
VIRSCAN.DAT is in place and rebuild the TSR components of NAV with
the new definition set.)
4) Reboot so that the new TSRs will be in effect.
******************************************************************
For NAV 3.0, from WIN:
1) Insert the definition update disk into the floppy disk drive.
(The example below uses A: drive.)
2) Execute the Windows File Manager or other Windows shell program that
supports FILE/COPY operations. The Windows File Manager can be invoked
from within the Windows Main Program Group or by entering WINFILE.EXE on
the FILE/RUN menu.
3) Select the A: drive and \NAV30 directory by clicking on the A: drive icon
and then clicking on the \NAV30 directory.
4) Use the FILE menu and COPY selection to invoke the copy file dialog.
Fill in the copy file dialog with the following information:
(where "C:\NAV" is the directory where your antivirus software is
installed.)
Source: A:\NAV30\VIR*.*
Destination: C:\NAV
Click on OK to execute the copy.
5) Invoke NAV to scan a file, directory, or drive.
(Running NAV to scan something will make NAV recognize that a new
VIRSCAN.DAT is in place and rebuild the TSR components of NAV with
the new definition set.)
Note: An alternative to the above procedure is to activate a DOS box
from within Windows and follow the DOS installation procedure.
6) Exit Windows. Reboot so that the new TSRs will be in effect.
******************************************************************
For NAVUPDATE (Network Copy of NAV for distribution by NAVUPDATE), from DOS:
1) Insert the definition update disk into the floppy disk drive.
(The example below uses A: drive.)
2) To update the definition files, type the following at the DOS prompt:
COPY A:\NAV30\VIR*.* F:\ADMIN\NAVUPDAT
where "F:\ADMIN\NAVUPDAT" is the directory where NAVUPDATE resides.
next
COPY A:\NAV30\NAVNET\INSC*.* F:\ADMIN\NAVUPDAT
3) The new definition files are now in place.
******************************************************************
For NAV for NetWare 1.0, from DOS:
1) Map a drive letter (the example below uses H:) to the volume and
directory where NAV for NetWare is installed.
2) Insert the definition update disk into the floppy drive
(the example below uses A:).
3) To update the definition files, type the following at the DOS prompt:
COPY A:\NAV30\VIR*.* H:
where H: is mapped to the volume/directory where NAV for NetWare is
installed.
4) Disable, then Enable, NAV for NetWare, using either the NAV for NetWare
Windows configuration component, or at the server console using the
function keys. This loads the new definitions for use.
