    I am using Symantec AntiVirus on Windows XP pro. How do I upgrade it to 10.1.9 (or the latest version)? Note: I am NOT using "End Point Protection".

    The details of my SAV are:

      Program: 10.0.1.1000

      Scan Engine: 101.3.0.93

    Please give me the:

    1.  URL to download the upgrading software.

    2.  URLs to get the latetest maintenance patches, etc.

    Thanks.

    Hi Alex,

    Please let the forum community know if you run into any difficulty- it is crucial to get that computer upgraded as soon as possible. That older version has known vulnerabilities:

    Solution: Upgrade to SAV 10.1 MR9

    Solution: Upgrade to MR9

    Also, there are significant stability improvements in MR8 and MR9: newer versions are much better at processing today's large AV definition files.
     

    Thanks and best regards,

    Mick

    Anyway, isn't is a godd idea to start thinking about migration to SEP 11? SAV will reach its end of life/support in 2012.
