A virus on your computer is a serious problem!
 

Check your Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition virus definition file date regularly to ensure that you have the best protection for your computer hard drive from a potential virus

Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition screen

From this screen shot of the Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition, you will find the Virus Definition File Date on the bottom right. (This one has a date of 1-29-2003.) This version of NAV, which is 7.60, has a Parent Server of LANDESK2 and will automatically check for the latest definitions file date. I would still periodically check this date to be sure that the program is updating properly.

To check the Virus Definition File Date if you have the NAV Corporate Edition (you will have a yellow shield icon which looks like a computer mouse in your system tray on the bottom right), just double click on the icon. You will get the above screen. The Virus Definition File date is near the bottom just above Exit.

When installing or uninstalling new software it is always a good idea to disable your anti-virus software.

For the NAV Corporate Edition you will need to click on the checkbox before the words Load Norton AntiVirus Services.

You will get this screen:

NAV Warning screen

Click on Unload and once the procedure is completed you can Exit from NAV Corporate. There will no longer be a check in the box before Load Norton AntiVirus services.

VERY IMPORTANT: This software does NOT automatically reload the software when you reboot your computer. You must use Start, Programs, Norton Corporate AntiVirus Edition, Norton Corporate AntiVirus Edition and then click on the checkbox you used to unload it. Once the software is loaded, you may Exit. The icon will now be in the system tray and that is how you know for sure the software is loaded correctly.
