  586. SARC has equipped Norton AntiVirus with a new feature called 
  587. "Infestation Mode."  If a large number of new or unknown viruses 
  588. is found on the system during a scan, Norton AntiVirus will 
  589. automatically enable its highest level of detection.  This gives 
  590. users the most comprehensive protection in cases where a viral 
  591. infestation may have been detected.  If you would like to disable
  592. this feature, you can do so by following these instructions:
  593.  
  594. 1. Create a text File called NAVEX15.INF in your Norton AntiVirus
  595.    directory,e.g., C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus. If this file
  596.    already exist go to step two.
  597.  
  598. 2. Place the following lines in this File on the left-hand margin:
  599.  
  600. [NAVW32]
  601. infestmode=0
  602.  
  603. [NAVDX]
  604. infestmode=0
  605.  
  606. 3. Save the File.
  607.  
  608.  
  609. Additional information regarding this virus definitions update can be
  610. found in UPDATE.TXT and TECHNOTE.TXT.
