- Symantec has made available as freeware, a detect/delete only version
- of NAV. This program is made available through BBSes throughout the
- world. We encourage people to try the program. The user interface of
- NAVSCAN and NAV is similar throughout the Peter Norton line of
- products.
-
- NAVSCAN is a detection only version of NAV incorporating the August 1
- update definitions set. (Files detected by NAVSCAN can be deleted
- from within NAVSCAN.) The August definitions set has also been sent
- to each of the BBSes so that full function NAV users can download and
- update their programs from a variety of BBSes. (You can also bug your
- sysop to start carrying each new month's update on that BBS.)
- Information on how to purchase the full function The Norton AntiVirus
- product is available in the NAVSCAN program.
