How to transport norton antivirus defs from 98 to xp or back
I have 98SE in c: and xp pro sp2 in e:
I have nav 2k5 in both. The problem is: I have to update virus defs in both partitions. Is there any method to transport virus defs and other norton live update downloads from 98 to xp or from xp to 98, so as to avoid double downloading of the same thing? TIA -- Rawat |

I'd avoid even thinking about attempting that. One wrong move and there's
no telling what may happen especially the way Norton applications write to the registry. If you have 2005 installed on 2 OS's from the same CD ( illegal according to the EULA) that means you have used 2 activations which leaves you with 3. -- Brian A.

TIA You can copy all the files of the latest downloaded definition from \Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\Latest_date folder of one system, and transfer them to \Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\incoming folder of the other. Norton will do the rest of job itself. Don't know how to transfer the other LiveUpdate downloads -- and even don't think it is possible in a simple way: in many cases LiveUpdate changes the Registry. -- Mikhail Zhilin http://www.aha.ru/~mwz Sorry, no technical support by e-mail.

TIA I wonder how businesses are updating virus defs. If I have a LAN with 50 pcs all have internet and nav, Will I have to run live update on all 50 pcs individually? or will I have to download that 7MB_and_growing virus defs every week and run on each pc? -- Rawat |

David, thanks for the Wallwatcher program. I nailed down my problems as far
as hacking attempts. It was due to a CWS (Cool Web Search) and a start page that had been changed by Cool Web Search in IE. My bi-directional ZoneAlarm PRO. was blocking this baddie from sending the information home and thanks to my software firewall I recognized a problem and scanned with Webroot's SpySweeper and the problem was solved. BTW, SpySweeper came #2 in the ratings of March PC World magazine. smile -- 81% detection rate according to the article BTW, Microsoft beta antispyware program scored the highest in the ratings but was not included since it was in beta testing. Microsoft made a really smart move by buying out Giant with its 13 employees and Microsoft certainly is setting themselves up for the future with this purchase. However, I am saddened that Microsofts antispyware is just for 2000 and XP and not 98SE. However, I can still test and try it out in my XP PRO. side of my dual 98SE/XPPRO computer so all is mostly okay. LOL!! "David H.
