********************************************************************** ** Additional Information ** ********************************************************************** SARC has equipped Norton AntiVirus with a new feature called "Infestation Mode." If a large number of new or unknown viruses is found on the system during a scan, Norton AntiVirus will automatically enable its highest level of detection. This gives users the most comprehensive protection in cases where a viral infestation may have been detected. If you would like to disable this feature, you can do so by following these instructions: 1. Create a text File called NAVEX15.INF in your Norton AntiVirus directory,e.g., C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus. If this file already exist go to step two. 2. Place the following lines in this File on the left-hand margin: [NAVW32] infestmode=0 [NAVDX] infestmode=0 3. Save the File. Additional information regarding this virus definitions update can be found in UPDATE.TXT and TECHNOTE.TXT.
