If you know, I found my old NAV 2002 DL'ed version, even tho it's only good for 1 (one) year, the subscription will choke after that, Also NAV Systemworks 2002 had problems, I thought it install right, but it didn't. NAV 200 /wouldn't/ install, or clean sweep either. Anynoo, will "navdx.exe" be the only file needed? No DLL"s either? To much screwing around. :( -- With best regards, gufus.

I think it was user /error/ when I tried install ing Norton Systemworks 02, I'm going to try again, time permitting. -- With best regards, gufus. E-mail: stop.nospam.gbbsg(a)shaw.ca

Once you install NAV 2002, it will accept new updates for 366 days. After that, it will refuse new virus definitions. To fix that, simply un-install and re-install it. But before you re-install, delete the file "catalog.livesubscribe". On win-98 systems, that file will be found in: c:\windows\all users\application data\symantec\livesubscribe That directory will not be deleted when you uninstall NAV. If you keep NAV 2002 installed on several PC's, it's only necessary to re-install it on one PC when it expires. When you re-install, take a copy of the new catalog.livesubscribe and copy it in place of the others on the other PC's. They will all be updated to the new expiration date when you do that. > Also NAV Systemworks 2002 had problems, I thought it install right > but it didn't. > NAV 2002 /wouldn't/ install, or clean sweep either. I never install cleansweep (not on win-98 or XP). If your system has ever had NAV installed on it before, you might have to do a complete search for all old remnants and remove them. From your registry too. See here for NAV removal tool: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039 > Anynoo, will "navdx.exe" be the only file needed?

It should be enough to enable a working version for DOS. It would probably also need C:\Program_Files\Common_Files\Symantec_Shared\VirusDefs as well (about 258 mb uncompressed). But I really don't see why you need to scan a system that's exclusively running DOS. What exposure does such a system have to the internet? Or even a LAN network? You can always remove the drive from such a system and connected it as a slave to another (windows) system and scan the drive that way.

I see it's their way of keeping their software on 1 (one) system. > If you keep NAV 2002 installed on several PC's, it's only > necessary to re-install it on one PC when it expires. When Another /good/ tip, makes sense. the data file that keep's the software legit. > See here for NAV removal tool: > http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/200 > 5033108162039 'k > I can provide my > C:\Program_Files\Norton_SystemWorks\Norton_AntiVirus directo > ry as a zipped file (about 13 mb uncompressed). It should I'm going to play with NAV02 a bit more, but I still might take you up on that offer. > But I really don't see why you need to scan a system that's > exclusively running DOS. What exposure does such a system > have to the internet? Or even a LAN network? Well, the DOS box also runs my BBS, that's a network I'm a member of (Fidionet) a amateur network, I get data from my uplink and send it to my downlinks, I use the internet to piggy-back Fidonet data. My BBS is a server for Fidonet too. So really I should just scan incoming Fidonet data before it makes it's way across the LAN to the DOS box. The DOS workstation is clean. On a side note: What do you think of NAV02? Compared to the anti-viral software available today. I use Avira v10 right now. -- K Klement Enhance your marketing at http://www.gypsy-designs.com mailto:info(a)gypsy-designs.com Gypsy Designs Fax: (403) 242-3221 ....
