Information about the update is included with the download and a text
file describes how to install the update.
Deleting the NAV™ 7.0 QuickScan file
Because of the way Norton AntiVirus tracks scanned files, a new virus
already present on your hard drive could go undetected when you first
update definitions—even though those definitions would detect any new
files with that virus.
If you have scanned your hard disk and found no viruses, and then you
download new virus definitions, you might want to ensure that any
previously undetected viruses will be found by the new definitions.
You can use Norton AntiVirus to delete the file at the root of each drive
called NAV™ 7.0
QuickScan.
To remove the QuickScan file:
1
In the Norton AntiVirus window, click the File View tab.
2
In the File View list, double-click your hard disk and locate the NAV
7.0 QuickScan file.
Ensure that Show Invisible Files is checked.
3
Click the NAV™ 7.0
QuickScan file.
If there are other QuickScan files left over from previous versions of
Norton AntiVirus, select them as well.
