To install your update, create a temporary folder, then copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Next, unstuff the file with Aladdin Systems' Stuffit Expander, then double-click the VirusDef Installer file. The installer will copy the file to the appropriate folder in your System folder. * WHERE YOUR VIRUS DEFINITION FILE GETS INSTALLED * The installer places a new virus definition file in this location: System Folder:Preferences:VirusScan:Virus Definitions: VirusDef 3103 = Virus definition data ______________________ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Macro viruses are named using this standard: The first of a family is given "name.A". For each subsequently discovered variant, the suffix letters progress until they reach .Z. The next variant receives the suffix .AA; naming continues in this fashion until it reaches .AZ, at which point the name shifts to .BA, etc. and continues until .ZZ. If further variants appear, their names would end with the sequence .AAA. A reference to a macro virus name without a variant notation means all variants of that virus.
