more cd space with NAV2003

[Jorre]

this might be useful for those who've got an unattended cd with Norton AntiVirus 2003

things you might drop:

- Manual folder: only containing acrobat reader and a pdf file = 9.5 Mb less

- MSI\WINNT folder: INSTMSIW.exe file (cfr FAQ & Tips) = 1.7 Mb less

- Support\MSIE folder: is this just an IExplorer installer ? sure seems so = 74.4 Mb less (!)

these tips are NOT tested

i'm gonna test them tomorrow

It works

Removed: MANUAL, MSI, Support/MSIE folders. And all the files in the root folder (Autorun, CDStart, setup.exe)

145 MB cut down to 56 MB

works this for NAV2004 too?

[pmcx9]

You can extract the latest symantec defs file and replace into the virusdef\latest folder to create a much more recent set of definitions than the aug2002 ones used by default.

Great for dial up PC's as liveupdates biggest download is not needed!

[Bachus]

Where does NAV store the virus definition files, anyway?

[Mike500]

Yes, i just tried it! Just download the newest definition file from ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton_antivirus

and extract it to \VIRUSDEF of your NAV folder, overwriting the old files.

BTW, my NAV2004.exe is now 32 MB big.

[beppemito]

why my nav2004 folder is 75mb? what can i delete?

Ok... once again... delete:

folder \MANUAL

folder \SUPPORT\MSI

folder \SUPPORT\MSIE

Any files in the root folder except NAVSETUP.EXE and README.TXT

Finally, extract the newest virus definitions to \VIRUSDEF.

Then RAR the whole thing.
