  • 1.  Rapid Release Installation Process

    Posted Jun 23, 2010 11:28 AM
    Newbie question here... what is the appropriate method of installing the Rapid Release Defs for Sav 10?  I've downloaded the latest xbd from http://definitions.symantec.com/defs/rapidrelease/  however I'm not exactly sure what the next step is?  I'd like to test this release on one particular client.

    TIA

    Title: 'Using Rapid Release virus definitions to update Symantec AntiVirus 10.x or Symantec Client Security 3.x clients and servers'
    Document ID: 2005041813344248
    > Web URL: http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security.nsf/docid/2005041813344248?Open&seg=ent

    Copy the .xdb file to one of the following destinations, depending on the version of Symantec AntiVirus and the operating system:
    For NetWare servers, the default location is SYS:SAV.
    For Symantec AntiVirus 10.x servers on Windows operating systems, the default is C:\Program Files\SAV\.
    For Symantec Client Security 3.0 servers on Windows operating systems, the default is C:\Program Files\SAV\Symantec AntiVirus\.
    For clients, the default is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\.

    My bad... should have found that earlier.  I wasn't renaming the zip file to xdb.
