Norton Antivirus 2002 is part of Norton SystemWorks 2002, which can be downloaded from these links: http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/19/2010382/NSW02-A.ZIP http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/19/2010382/NSW02-B.ZIP http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/19/2010382/NSW02-C.ZIP http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/19/2010382/NSW02-D.ZIP The password to unzip each of them is "a". Each file is close to 50 mb in size. When unzipped, you'll get NSW02-1.piz NSW02-2.piz NSW02-3.piz NSW02-4.piz Rename them each to .zip. They are not password protected. Create a directory (name doesn't matter) and move files 1, 2 and 3 into that directory and unzip them into that directory. There should be no conflicts or warnings to over-write any existing files. For file 4, move it to the \SUPPORT\IE5 directory and unzip it's contents into that directory. When you're done all that, you should have an exact copy of the directory structure of the NSW 2002 CD. There should be 10 files and 13 folders in the root directory. 590 files, 41 folders, 207 mb. To install NSW-2002, just run setup.exe in the root. Notes: 1) Before installing, you should go to add/remove programs in control panel and check to see if you have any Symantec or Norton products already there, including LiveUpdate, LiveReg, Norton AntiVirus, Norton Utilities, or Norton SystemWorks. You will probably have to remove some or most of them, and then re-boot your computer, for NSW2002 to install itself correctly. You should also make sure your PC's clock/calendar is set to the correct date. 2) Once you complete step 1, perform a file-find on your system and look for a file called "catalog.livesubscribe" or just "catalog.*". If you find that file (it will be in a norton or symantec directory) then it must be deleted before you install this software. 3) After installing NSW2002, let it restart your system. There are several settings in NAV that I turn off - like automatically check for updates, and warn if virus def's are old. If it gives you the option of registering the software - don't. It's not necessary for it to function. 4) If you click on "Check for Updates" you will probably be told that there is an update to Symantec Redirector, which can be downloaded but may not install. In any case, it's my experience that both auto and manual updating (liveupdate button) doesn't work, and hasn't worked since maybe 2007. But that's ok, because you can download all program updates and virus definitions from here (Symantec Intelligent Updater): ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton_antivirus/static/symcdefsi32.exe That file always contains the most recent virus definition update. So download and run it as often as you want (even once a day if you're paranoid). |
