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.

Installing Virus Definition Files Manually
=====================================================================
If you do not want Intelligent Updater to install the new virus
definitions for you automatically, you can use the /DUMP command to
extract the virus definition files, then copy the appropriate files
to the Norton AntiVirus folder.
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.
