- Installing New Virus Definition Files
- =====================================
-
- 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.
-
- There are several versions of Intelligent Updater available. The newest
- package is a version of Intelligent Updater 2.0, used to deliver
- virus definitions for all the NAV products. The program name, which
- changes from month to month, uses the following form:
-
- mmddx86.EXE, where mm is the month, and dd is the day.

- 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 Norton AntiVirus folder.
-
- To install virus definition files manually:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Copy the Intelligent Updater program to an empty, temporary
- folder.
- 2. Launch the Intelligent Updater program using the /DUMP command:
-
- mmddx86.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.
