** Enabling/Disabling PowerPoint Scanning **
**********************************************************************
PowerPoint Scanning is now enabled by default and can be optionally
disabled. However, you may want to verify that files with
PowerPoint extensions will be scanned by making sure that your
NAV options have both ".PPT" and ".POT" in the list of extensions
to scan.
To disable PowerPoint scanning in NAV for Windows 95/NT
version 4.x or NAV for OS/2, a text file named NAVEX15.INF should
be placed in the directory where NAV 4.x or NAV 5.x is installed
(i.e., C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus).
To disable PowerPoint scanning in NAV for Netware version 4.x, a text
file named NAVEX15.INF should be placed in the directory where NAV
4.x is installed (i.e., sys:system\navnlm).
To disable PowerPoint scanning in NAV for Windows 95/NT version 2.0,
NAV 4.x for Windows 3.1/DOS, NAVIEG 1.x, or NAVFW 1.x a text file
named NAVEX.INF should be placed in the directory where NAV is
installed (i.e., C:\NAV).
The contents of the text file, NAVEX15.INF or NAVEX.INF, determine
which components of NAV have PowerPoint scanning disabled.
To disable PowerPoint scanning for a particular component, use the
following table to determine the lines to add to the text file.
PowerPoint scanning can be disabled for more than one component if
needed by adding the required lines for the desired components.
+---------------------+--------------------------+--------------------+
|Windows 95/NT scanner|Windows 95/NT auto-protect|DOS scanner |
+---------------------+--------------------------+--------------------+
|[NAVW32] |[NAVAP] |[NAVDX] |
|PowerPointScanning=0 |PowerPointScanning=0 |PowerPointScanning=0|
+---------------------+--------------------------+--------------------+
+----------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|Windows 3.1 scanner/AP|Netware scanner |OS/2 scanner/AP |
+----------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|[NAVWIN] |[NAVNLM] |[NAVOS2] |
|PowerPointScanning=0 |PowerPointScanning=0|PowerPointScanning=0|
+----------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
To enable PowerPoint scanning for a component, delete the lines
added for that component from the NAVEX15.INF or NAVEX.INF file.

** 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.
