Default Anti-virus for Win 98

I may have those Norton CDs around here somewhere (if I can find

protection, would it? I thought older Norton gave up updates
only for a year after purchase.


Once installed, you have a year's worth of updates before it tells you
to pay for another year. But for NAV 2001 and 2002, it's very easy to
get around that by simply un-installing it then re-installing it. By
doing that, you've tricked it and it thinks it's being installed for
the first time.

And don't worry about it being up-to-date. It will be. When you
install NAV 2001 or 2002 and perform the first on-line update, it will
download about 10 mb worth of data and program updates. It will then
be completely up to date with the latest virus definitions and scan
engine.
