=====================================================================
II. Norton AntiVirus 3.0 and 4.0 for DOS / Windows 3.x
=====================================================================
IMPORTANT! Check the Norton AntiVirus version first
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Check the date of the Norton AntiVirus executable files (NAV.EXE,
NAVW.EXE) to see if they are earlier than June 1, 1996. If they are,
update them with the UPDATEME.EXE patch.
This patch is available on the Symantec BBS (541-484-6669), 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.
These new virus definitions are not compatible with older versions
of Norton AntiVirus, and may cause them to report false virus
detections.
Download or copy the patch file to a temporary directory and run it
to extract the necessary files. Then follow the directions in the
READ.ME file. This patch contains the April 1997 virus definition
set. After applying this patch, you must update the virus definition
set.
Updating NAV 3.0/4.0 virus definition files using Windows 3.x
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Run the file mmddI16.EXE (or mmddI161.EXE if using the multi-file
floppy disk set). The mmdd represents the date of the definition
set. For example, the filename would be 1231I16.EXE for the
December 31 definition set.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Start Norton AntiVirus and scan your drive before you reboot
your computer to activate the new virus definitions and rebuild
critical files.
4. Restart your computer so that Auto-Protect uses the new
definitions.
Updating NAV 3.0/4.0 virus definition files using DOS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. If you are running Windows, exit to DOS. To do this, select Exit
from the File menu.
2. Make sure you have a temporary directory on your system that you
can use to unload the virus definitions. Set this directory in
DOS using the SET command. For example, type SET TEMP=C:\TEMP if
the temporary directory is C:\TEMP.
3. Run the file mmddI16.EXE (or mmddI161.EXE if using the multi-file
floppy disk set). 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 the screen.
5. Start Norton AntiVirus and scan your drive before you reboot
your computer to activate the new virus definitions and rebuild
critical files.
6. Restart your computer so that Auto-Protect uses the new
definitions.
Troubleshooting
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If the VIRSCAN.ZIP files are not deleted after a failed or
cancelled attempt at updating the virus definitions, they can cause
errors when running the Intelligent Updater program. To prevent
these types of errors, make sure that the temporary directory is
empty before starting the update.
=====================================================================
III. NT Tools and NT Scanner
=====================================================================
1. Run the file mmddI16.EXE (or mmddI161.EXE if using the multi-file
floppy disk set). The mmdd represents the date of the definition
set. For example, the filename would be 1231I16.EXE for the
December 31 definition set.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Start Norton AntiVirus and scan your drive before you reboot
your computer to activate the new virus definitions and rebuild
critical files.
4. Restart your computer so that Auto-Protect uses the new
definitions.
=====================================================================
IV. Norton AntiVirus 4.0 & 5.0 for Windows NT
=====================================================================
1. Run the file mmddI32.EXE (or mmddI321.EXE if using the multi-file
floppy disk set). The mmdd represents the date of the definition
set. For example, the filename would be 1231I32.EXE for the
December 31 definition set.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.
=====================================================================
V. Norton AntiVirus 4.0 for NetWare
=====================================================================
1. On a workstation connected to the network, map a drive letter to
the volume and directory where Norton AntiVirus for Netware is
installed. You must have read and write access to the mapped
drive.
2. Disable the Norton AntiVirus for NetWare NLM. To do this, select
DISABLE NLM from the Tools menu in the Norton AntiVirus for
NetWare Windows configuration window. Or, you can press F3 at the

4. At a DOS prompt, change to the directory that contains the
Intelligent Updater file. Type mmddN16.EXE [path] (or
mmddN161.EXE [path] if you are updating from a floppy disk) where
the [path] is the location you mapped in step 1. The mmdd
represents the date of the definition set. For example, the
filename would be 1231I16.EXE for the December 31 definition set.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen.
6. Enable the Norton AntiVirus for NetWare NLM. Choose ENABLE NLM
from the Tools menu in the Norton AntiVirus for NetWare Windows
configuration window. Or, press F2 at the NAVNLM server console
screen.
7. If you created a temporary drive mapping, delete it.
=====================================================================
VI. 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 BBS (541-484-6669), 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.
=====================================================================
VII. 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.
=====================================================================
VIII. 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.
=====================================================================
IX. 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.
=====================================================================
X. 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.
=====================================================================

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.
=====================================================================
XIV. 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. Refer to the Intelligent Updater File List below for information
on which files to copy into the Norton AntiVirus folder.
