I use Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition since version 7.1 and until now still happily using version 10.2

problem:
-What if you handle several pc in a workgroup area.
-All of it using client edition of this antivirus. None are server.
-Internet not allowed, so there goes Live Update.(My workplace no internet but yes Symantec Intelligent Update page)
-Thumb drive is not allowed (Like mine. sigh)

Solution:
Just download the Intelligent Update manually
Download English Updates

Then copy this code

Then, paste it in notepad.
Save it as like this
Save as type: choose All Files
File Name: name it "Manual.bat" of course with the quotation marks.

Also need to create 2 subfolders
C:\update\Manual Update
C:\update\Intelligent Update

After done that, place your intelligent update and Manual.bat in c:\update
Try running the Manual.bat batch program by double-clicking it.

If all goes well, your virus definition files will be extracted in "C:\update\Manual Update" subfolder

So, to let the antivirus to update using the files, just copy them in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\incoming

Make sure the file "ZDONE.DAT" is the last you copy there.

That's it. If you want to pass the files to many PC, just make a startup batch file in everyone's PC to copy from your "Manual Update" folder over the network. You're done! The steps should be the same with XP/Vista/Norton Anitvirus

Anything else: Ooh cannot reply here, just PM me. I'll try posting it here in a form of FAQs with your name after the question mark. Thank you. bla bla
