Updating virus protection without LiveUpdate
WHY? Symantec supplies a special program called Intelligent Updater if
you cannot use LiveUpdate. If you don’t have a modem or Internet
connection, you can get the updates by mail. You may also choose to
download the updates from an online service or bulletin board. The
Intelligent Updater program is available from several sources — phone
numbers are included in the Symantec Service and Support Solutions at
the end of this manual.
To install the latest virus definitions on your computer:
1. Download the Intelligent Updater program to any folder on your
computer or Insert the disk you received from Symantec in the A:
drive.
2. From a My Computer or Windows Explorer window, locate and then
double-click the Intelligent Updater program.
The filename for Intelligent Updater has the form mmNAyyI.EXE,
where mm is the month and yy is the year.
3. Follow all prompts displayed by the update program. The Intelligent
Updater program searches your computer for Norton AntiVirus, then
installs the new virus definitions files in the proper folder
automatically.
If prompted to overwrite, click Yes. The files are being replaced with
new ones.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Scan your disks to make sure newly discovered viruses are detected.
