Hi Kiwitas, I was wondering if you can tell me exactly where i look to see the total defs, as stated above (or is that imfo. just stated at the symantec site??). I just can't seem to find anywhere that actually states the total defs in NAV ?:| and I have often wondered where i would find that imfo. Using NAV 2003 Pro. ed. on xp pro. Thanks :-)	J ZEP (336)
150764	2003-06-08 02:39:00	Hi J ZEP You can see your current defintion number by opening up NAV, select Reports and then Virus list > View Report. It will show your latest definition date as well as the number of definitions. Cheers Jen	Jen C (20)

No doubt its right under my nose :8} :D. One of the reasons i was wanting to know was i did a "system restore"(xp) a few weeks back - and i remember reading on F1(here) i think it was, that when you use system restore you loose any NAV updates you did in between that restore period :O, so i want to check just to be safe ;-) and also peace of mind knowing i am totally up to date.

150767	2003-06-08 11:16:00	Humm, Just used the Live Update again and there is another update already. Must have found that bug and released an update. Time to re-enable and test it out and see if it is stable once more.	Big John (551)

Downloaded the updates again and all seems fine. Might suspect a data corruption somewhere with the update as it came down the line.	Big John (551)
150769	2003-06-09 10:34:00	Hi Big John There was a recent update for NIS and Nortons Personal Firewall which caused a bit of havoc, this might of been the problem you were experiencing. Norton Internet Security 2003 does not load on reboot after applying the 6.04 patch via LiveUpdate (service1.symantec.com). My Norton Personal Firewall was affected, it wouldn't load and then it took out NAV. I did a System Restore and rolled back one day to fix it. They are still working on a fix for that update.

I turn off restore as it takes too much disk space. I just do entire backups. I just uninstalled everything, removed extra entries in the registery that the uninstalls did not remove and re-installed everything. No issues after that. Mine was worse than the symptoms they gave though. Mine just crashed straight to shutdown randomly and when I tried to open NIS	Big John (551)
