  • 1.  NAV v7.6 Definition Files

    Posted Aug 12, 2008 09:09 AM

    Looking for a quick answer.  I am auditing an environment and the client has Norton AntiVirus Corporate v7.6 installed on their Windows servers and PCs.  I see this product went End Of Support Life in 2005.

    Question:  Will the virus definitions being released today (August 2008) work with this version?  The client showed me that a new file has been updated on the servers (file has date of 8/10/08), but is it working?

     

    Trying to understand if client is virus protected or not.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    The legacy clients will get the defs, but they are no longer tested and fully quality assured on the older products.

    The implication of this is that they may work perfectly or they might false positive, or even kill the machine etc.

     

    Recommend they upgrade immediately and make it a clear risk case.
