239102 2004-05-24 22:38:00 I am installing Nort. System. Works 2002 from my old to my new PC. It is at present up to date with Anti Virus file updates. Past experience tells me that I will probably lose the files in the reinstallation, resulting in long downloads from the Symantec site to re-establish things. Any advice on identifying and transferring my AV files? JimClegg (2254)
239103 2004-05-25 00:03:00 nope sorry :(

nortons is a pain for that. you will need to install it fresh and have a big long download from symantec :(. with 2002 you must run liveupdate to get all the updates.

You cannot at present backup your current Antiviral definition files. Symantec has an explanation on this here (service1.symantec.com)

You can however, as the article suggests, download all the current defintions as one big file and save this to CD, which can then be used to bring your newly installed NAV backup to date again - download site (www.symantec.com) - it looks to be a 4.75 MB file currently.

if you download the seperate defs you still need to run liveupdate and get the rest.
