Read the section below for more details. If you are receiving this update on a multi-disk version of Intelligent Updater, the program files for Intelligent Updater 1.7 are located on disk one, and on disk three for Intelligent Updater 4.0. All other update files are located on disk two. ===================================================================== Intelligent Updater ===================================================================== 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. Later sections of this document give step-by-step instructions for each Norton AntiVirus version. There are now four versions of Intelligent Updater. The newest package is a version of Intelligent Updater 4.0, used to deliver virus definitions for NAV 4.0 running under NetWare. The program name, which changes from month to month, uses the following form: mmNAyyN.EXE, where mm is the month, and yy is the year. Another version of Intelligent Updater 4.0 is used to deliver virus definitions for NAV 4.0 running under Windows 95 and NT. This is named with the form: mmNAyyI.EXE, where mm is the month, and yy is the year. Intelligent Updater 1.7 is for all other versions of NAV. It is named with the form: mmNAVyy.EXE, where mm is the month, and yy is the year. Intelligent Updater is also released on a set of three floppies. The program file for Intelligent Updater 1.7 is located on your virus definitions update disk one. The program name, which also changes from month to month, uses the following form: mmDSKyy.EXE, where mm is the month, and yy is the year. Disk two contains the remaining files for Intelligent Updater 1.7 that could not fit on disk one. Disk three contains Intelligent Updater 4.0, with the same name as the downloaded version, currently named 04NA98I.EXE. For example, 04NA98N.EXE is the name of the latest Intelligent Updater 4.0 definitions update for NAV running under NetWare. 04NA98I.EXE is the name of the latest Intelligent Updater 4.0 definitions update for NAV 4.0 for Windows 95, NT Workstation, and NT Server. 04FD98.EXE is the Intelligent Updater 1.7 definitions update that is distributed on floppies for all other versions of NAV. 04NAV98.EXE is Intelligent Updater 1.7 for download distribution, which is too large to fit on one floppy. 04FD98.EXE is also available for download, to allow flexibility in updating many computers at one site. ===================================================================== Norton AntiVirus 1.0 and 2.0 for Windows 95 ===================================================================== This product requires the use of Intelligent Updater 1.7, named 04NAV98.EXE or 04FD98.EXE. Important Notice: If your HELP/ABOUT NORTON ANTIVIRUS menu option does not say Norton AntiVirus for Windows 95 version 2.0.1, you should update it using the NAV 2.01 patch. This latest version of the Norton AntiVirus adds password protection to the Options dialog box and adds network alerting from AutoProtect and the virus scanner. As viruses continue to be discovered with alarming regularity, the NAV virus definition files have grown in size to counter the latest threats. Applying this patch will ensure that your installation will continue to accept of versions the latest (and largest) virus definition files. Using older versions of Norton AntiVirus for Windows 95 can cause false detections when the new virus definitions are installed. This latest patch also adds support for Microsoft Service Pack 2 (FAT 32/large volumes) and will be required to apply all current definition sets. Please download this file to a temporary directory and execute it to extract the necessary files. Then click Setup to begin the installation process. After applying this patch, you must also update your virus definition set. This patch is available for download from the Symantec BBS, the Symantec FTP or Web sites, CompuServe, or America Online.

Launch the Intelligent Updater program using the /DUMP command: 04NAV98.EXE /DUMP or 04FD98.EXE /DUMP or 04NA98I.EXE /DUMP or 04NA98N.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 virscan.inf navex32a.dll navex15.exp navex15.sys navex15.vxd catalog.dat ncsacert.txt technote.txt whatsnew.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 virscanm.dat virscan.inf navex15.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
