of the .ZIP file and installation procedure.
Important Note: If your Norton AntiVirus for NetWare 1.0 is dated before

All contents of this file have been scanned by Norton AntiVirus and
are free from virus infection. The virus definition and repair data
included with this update are for use by Norton AntiVirus 3.0, Norton
AntiVirus for Windows 95, and the Norton AntiVirus for Netware versions

any other software or any earlier version of Norton AntiVirus. If you
experience any trouble with this update, please contact Norton AntiVirus

If your version of Norton AntiVirus 3.0 for Windows and DOS is dated
before June 9, 1995, you will need to update it using the NAV July 1995
Update in order to use these virus definitions. If you have not
updated your version, download the NAV July 1995 Update from the
Symantec BBS, Symantec's FTP site, CompuServe, or America Online.
The file is called UPDATEME.EXE and is located where the monthly
update files are normally found. Alternately, you may call
Customer Service at (800) 441-7234 to obtain the NAV July 1995
Update disk.

that a new VIRSCAN.DAT file is in place.
6) Restart your computer so that the Automatic Protect will use the
newest virus definitions.
TIP: If you extracted this file inside the \Program Files\Norton AntiVirus
folder, then step 3 is already completed. If you extracted this file

either DOS or Windows.
This will generate new interim files and update the automatic
protection TSR.
3. Reboot your computer to load the updated automatic protection
TSR.
TIP: If you extracted this file inside your \NAV directory, (\NDW for
users of Norton Desktop for Windows), then step 1 is already
completed. If you extracted this file in a different directory, copy
