Thank you for downloading this, the seventh consecutive virus 
definition update for the Norton AntiVirus version 3.0.  The 
contents of this ZIP file will bring your NAV up to date as of 
May, 1994.  It is all-inclusive--you do not need any of 
the previous update files.  This text file describes the 
contents of the ZIP file, the installation procedure, and 
describes in detail what's new in this update. 

All contents of this file have been scanned by Norton AntiVirus 
and are free from virus infection.  The virus definition and 
repair data included with 30A07 are for use by Norton AntiVirus 
version 3.0 only, they will not work with any other anti-virus

trouble with this update, please contact NAV technical support, 
using any of the methods listed in your user's manual. 
******************************************************************
30A07.ZIP-contains:

    VIRSCAN.DAT-this is the actual data used to detect 
    and repair viruses.  Not merely an update, this is a 
    replacement for the entire existing definition set.
    
    VIRSCAN.INF-provides the database of information 
    used by the [Info] section of Norton AntiVirus. 
    It is kept separate from the VIRSCAN.DAT file as it 
    may not always be necessary to update.
    
    30A07.TXT-the file you are now reading, this text 
    file contains descriptions of the components of 
    30A07.ZIP, instructions for installation and

           Loading New Definitions

Note:  The files contained in this zip file, referred to as a virus
       definition update set, completely replace the corresponding
       files contained within the product.  Only the latest virus
       definition set is required to update the product.

******************************************************************
NAV 3.0 has greatly simplified the definition update process.  
There are now only two steps to updating your copy of Norton 
AntiVirus.

    1. Copy VIRSCAN.DAT and VIRSCAN.INF into the Norton
       AntiVirus directory.
    
    2. Scan with NAV, in either DOS or Windows.
    
NOTES:

If you have unzipped this file inside your \NAV directory, (\NDW 
for users of Norton Desktop for Windows), then you have already 
completed the first step.  If you unzipped the three files into 
another directory, or are viewing this, still ZIPped (by using 
a ZIP management program) then copy the extracted files to your 
NAV directory.  You want to overwrite the existing, old, data 
files, in case you are asked.

Then, in either DOS or Windows, activate NAV and scan any 
drive, directory or file.  This will generate new interim 
files, and update NAVTSR.

Exiting NAV (and Windows) and rebooting your computer to load 
the new NAVTSR completes the process.  You are now operating 
with the latest anti-virus protection.
