Installing New Virus Definition Files ===================================== As part of our continuing commitment to fight the spread of computer viruses, Symantec has developed a new program called Intelligent Updater to simplify virus definition file updates. Intelligent Updater locates Norton AntiVirus on your computer and installs new virus definition files automatically. All you have to do is run the program, then scan your disk with Norton AntiVirus. There are several versions of Intelligent Updater available. The newest package is a version of Intelligent Updater 2.0, used to deliver virus definitions for all the NAV products. The program name, which changes from month to month, uses the following form: mmddx86.EXE, where mm is the month, and dd is the day.

To install virus definition files manually: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Copy the Intelligent Updater program to an empty, temporary folder. 2. Launch the Intelligent Updater program using the /DUMP command: mmddx86.EXE /DUMP Virus definition files for all supported platforms are extracted into the temporary folder. 3. Copy the appropriate files to the Norton AntiVirus folder. If you are using Norton AntiVirus 4.0 for Windows 95 / Windows NT Server & Workstation, copy the files to this location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\Incoming\ In addition, the file ZDONE.DAT needs to be copied last to this location. The presence of this file acts as a signal that the definition set has been completely loaded, and may cause errors if it is not the last file copied to the directory. One easy way to insure this is to rename ZDONE.DAT to Z.DAT, copy all the files to the definition directory, and then rename Z.DAT back to ZDONE.DAT in the definition directory. This is a zero-byte file, and if your version of the copy command doesn't copy this file, the xcopy command will. 4. Refer to the Intelligent Updater File List below for information on which files to copy into the Norton AntiVirus folder. ===================================================================== Intelligent Updater File List ===================================================================== Norton AntiVirus 1.0 for Windows 95 --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan.dat virscan2.dat virscan.inf navex.exp navex32.dll navex.vxd technote.txt update.txt whatsnew.txt ncsacert.txt Norton AntiVirus 2.0 for Windows 95 --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan.dat virscan.inf virscan2.dat navex32.dll navex.vxd navex.exp technote.txt update.txt whatsnew.txt ncsacert.txt Norton AntiVirus 3.0 for DOS/Windows --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan.dat virscan2.dat virscan.inf navex.exp navex16.dll technote.txt update.txt whatsnew.txt ncsacert.txt Norton AntiVirus 4.0 for DOS/Windows --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan.dat virscan2.dat virscan5.dat virscan.inf navex.exp navex16.dll technote.txt update.txt whatsnew.txt ncsacert.txt Norton AntiVirus 4.0 for Windows 95 / Windows NT Server & Workstation --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan1.dat virscan2.dat virscan3.dat virscan4.dat virscan5.dat virscan6.dat virscan7.dat virscan8.dat virscan.inf navex32a.dll navex15.exp navex15.sys navex15.vxd naveng.exp naveng32.dll catalog.dat ncsacert.txt technote.txt whatsnew.txt update.txt zdone.dat Norton AntiVirus 2.0 for Windows NT --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan.dat virscan2.dat virscan.inf navex.sys navex32.dll technote.txt update.txt whatsnew.txt ncsacert.txt Norton AntiVirus 2.0 for NetWare --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan.dat virscan.inf virscanm.dat navex.nlm technote.txt update.txt whatsnew.txt ncsacert.txt Norton AntiVirus 4.0 for NetWare --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan.dat virscan1.dat virscan2.dat virscan3.dat virscan4.dat virscan5.dat virscan6.dat virscan7.dat virscan8.dat virscanm.dat virscan.inf navex15.nlm naveng.nlm technote.txt update.txt whatsnew.txt ncsacert.txt Norton AntiVirus Internet Scanner for Windows 3.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan.dat virscan.inf navex16.dll technote.txt update.txt whatsnew.txt ncsacert.txt Norton AntiVirus Scanner for Windows NT, Norton NT Tools and Internet Scanner for Windows 95 --------------------------------------------------------------------- virscan.dat virscan.inf navex32.dll technote.txt update.txt whatsnew.txt ncsacert.txt
