Norton AntiVirus Network Manager ===================================================================== IMPORTANT! Check the Norton AntiVirus version first -------------------------------------------------------------------- Check the date of the Norton AntiVirus Network Manager executable file (NAVNET.EXE) to see if it is earlier than June 1, 1996. If it is, you must update it with the UPDATEME.EXE patch before installing these definitions. These new virus definitions are not compatible with older versions of Norton AntiVirus, and may cause it to report false virus detections. This patch is available on the Symantec FTP site (ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/...), the Symantec Web site (http://www.symantec.com/nav/index_updates.html), CompuServe, or America Online. You can also call Customer Service at (800) 441-7234 to order a disk set. Download or copy the UPDATEME.EXE patch file to a temporary directory. The network files must exist in your local directory or the UPDATEME.EXE patch will not extract the network files. Copy NAVNET.EXE and NAVNETW.EXE to your local NAV directory. Then run UPDATEME.EXE to extract the files. The complete directions are explained in the READ.ME file. After updating Norton AntiVirus Network Manager, recreate your .NNS files using the new _DEFAULT.NNS as a template. For more information on recreating .NNS files, order FaxBack #913024 from our free FaxBack service at (541) 984-2490, option 2. The NAV 3.11 patch contains the April 1997 virus definition set. You must apply the latest virus definition set update after completing the program update. Updating Norton AntiVirus Network Manager virus definitions -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. On a workstation connected to the network, map a drive letter to the volume and directory where Norton AntiVirus Network Manager is installed. You must have read and write access to the mapped drive. 2. At a DOS prompt, change to the directory that contains the Intelligent Updater file. 3. Type mmddI16.EXE [path] (or mmddI161.EXE [path] if using the multi-disk floppy disk set) where the [path] is the location of the Norton AntiVirus Network Manager that you just mapped. The mmdd represents the date of the definition set. For example, the filename would be 1231I16.EXE for the December 31 definition set. 4. Follow the instructions on screen. 5. Start Norton AntiVirus from the Norton AntiVirus Network Manager directory and scan the Norton AntiVirus Network Manager directory to activate the new virus definitions and rebuild critical files. To do this, type NAV from the Norton AntiVirus Network Manager directory. ===================================================================== VIII. Norton AntiVirus Network Manager for Win95 and WinNT ===================================================================== Installing the definitions for Network Manager involves three steps. 1. Find the directory where virus definitions are stored. 2. Copy the appropriate Intelligent Updater program to that directory. 3. Run the Intelligent Updater program using the /dump command to extract the appropriate files. Locating the Definitions Directory -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Find the .NNS file that Norton AntiVirus uses to distribute files. To find out which .NNS file the network uses, check the network login script. If it uses a customized .NNS file, the login script will specify the location of that file. If not, search the login script for the location of the NAVCHECK.EXE and NAV32UP.EXE distribution files. The default .NNS file (_DEFLT32.NNS) will be in the directory containing NAVCHECK.EXE and NAV32UP.EXE. 2. Look in the .NNS file for the parameter that points to the virus definitions directory. * In NavNet32 v2.0, the parameter "NAVDefDir" points to the definitions. * In NavNet32 v4.x, the parameter "NAVDefDir95" points to the Norton AntiVirus for Windows 95 definitions. The parameter "NAVDefDirNTWKS" points to the Norton AntiVirus for NT workstation definitions, and "NAVDefDirNTSRV" points to the Norton AntiVirus for NT server definitions. 3. Note the definitions directory to be updated. Updating Definitions for Norton AntiVirus 4.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Map a drive letter to the network volume and directory containing the definitions to be updated. You must have WRITE access to the mapped drive. 2. Copy (do not Move) the mmddI32.EXE file to the mapped network definitions directory. The mmdd represents the date of the definition set. For example, the filename would be 1231I32.EXE for the December 31 definition set. 3. Open a command line session (DOS box) and change to the mapped drive containing the older definitions and the new Intelligent Updater program. 4. To update definitions type mmddI32 /DUMP 5. Delete mmddI32.EXE from the definitions directory. ===================================================================== IX. Norton System Center ===================================================================== See the Norton System Center documentation for instructions on distributing virus definitions with Central LiveUpdate. To distribute virus definition updates without Central LiveUpdate: 1. Download the latest version of Intelligent Updater (v4.0). 2. Copy Intelligent Updater to the definitions folder of your NSC installation. By default the location is the \NSC Repository\Products\NAV\Defs\Intel or Alpha folder. 3. To avoid changing the job every time you update the definitions, rename the Intelligent Updater file as NEWDEFS.EXE and set the job to run this file. Otherwise you will always have to modify the job to use the correct file name. 4. Start Norton System Center and run your virus definitions rollout job. For more information on setting up NSC jobs, see your NSC documentation. Whenever you want to distribute updated virus definitions, download a new Intelligent Updater, copy it to the source distribution folder, rename it NEWDEFS.EXE, and rerun the job. ===================================================================== X. Norton AntiVirus for NT Server, DEC Alpha version ===================================================================== 1. Download the file mmddA32.ZIP. 2. Unzip this file into the Incoming directory: \Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\Incoming 3. Norton AntiVirus will automatically begin using the new definitions. ===================================================================== XI. Norton AntiVirus for OS/2 ===================================================================== 1. Download the file mmddO32.ZIP. 2. Unzip this file into the Incoming directory: \SYMANTEC\COMMON\SHARED\VIRUSDEFS\INCOMING 3. Norton AntiVirus will automatically begin using the new definitions. ===================================================================== XII.

For example, the filename would be 1231X86.EXE for December 31 definition set. 2. A message dialog box will appear momentarily on the screen indicating the NAV application is updating the virus definition set. Update of the virus definition is done automatically after executing the file mmddX86.EXE. 3. The NAV application will normally display the activated virus definition date on the initial NAV display with "Date:mm/dd/yyyy". Where mm/dd/yyyy represents the date of the virus definition set. For example, 12/31/2000 for December 31, 2000 definition set. ===================================================================== XV. 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 virus definitions folder. Installing Virus Definition Files Manually -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Copy the Intelligent Updater program (mmddI16.EXE, mmddI161.EXE, mmddI32.EXE, or mmddN16.EXE) to an empty, temporary folder. 2. Launch the Intelligent Updater program using the /DUMP command. This will extract all the virus definitions to the folder. For example, type mmddI32.EXE /DUMP to extract the files. The mmdd represents the date of the definition set. For example, the filename would be 1231I32.EXE for the December 31 definition set. 3. Copy the files to the virus definition folder. If you are using Norton AntiVirus 4.0 or 5.0 for Windows 95 / Windows NT Server & Workstation, copy the files to this location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\Incoming\ NOTE: Copy the file ZDONE.DAT last. This file signals Norton AntiVirus that the definition set has been completely loaded. If it is not loaded last, it may cause errors. 4.
