Need to update SAV 11 from Server

Hello Sir,

Helpful suggestion ...I have been downloading Symantec 9 and 11 version which are very useful for our organisation.

I have one question, though : We have about 25 users using Symantec 11 on Vista OS. Every 2 weeks we need to update SAV 11. My question is, can I update SAV for all 25 users from the server?

I would appreciate if you would help me in this regard.

Thanks

Meraj

SAV 9 and SEP 11 can co-exist

SAV 9 and SEP 11 can co-exist in an environment but SAV (9) can't manage SEP (11) and vice versa. Your best bet to provide internal definition updates to both products would be to use LiveUpdate Administrator.

Current version of LiveUpdate Administrator

I definitely don't recommend allowing your SEP 11 clients to get two weeks out of date smiley

SAV 9 Has Passed its End of Life

"Thumbs up" for Sandra's recommendations, above!

 

Also, be aware: SAV 9 has long ago passed its end of life.  There are no new antivirus definitions being provided for it, so new threats could infect computers that are still defended with SAV 9.  I strongly recommend migrating away from SAV 9 immediately.

 

Hope this helps!

With thanks and best regards,
