Annoying start up message

[Guest]

A few days ago I started getting a window everytime I start or re-start. The
Window's top line is "Old Virus Definition File" with the text "The virus
definition file used is more than 30 days old....

I use one of Symantec's anti virus programs and the program WAS up to date
with the most current def file. I uninstalled the Symantec program and
installed the most current version of the program and updated all of the def
files.

I still get the window evertime I start/re-start.

Clicking the box to not remind me, turning off the Security Center Anti
Virus monitoring, etc does not eliminate this very annoying window.

Any ideas?

Jeff,

1) You have a box you can tick to say don't show this again
2) Has the subscription run out?
3) Contact Symantec Support
(http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/support/index.jsp)
4) You can download the Intelligent Updater file
(http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/defs.download.html) instead of
using Live Update. Go to the above page, scroll down, choose your av version,
click the download button & then on the next page you will have the file
Example: 20070731-016-i32.exe
(http://definitions.symantec.com/defs/20070731-016-i32.exe)
5) On support I found this document, but you never told the newsgroup your exact
product you're using:
http://service1.symantec.com/Support/nav.nsf/docid/2001091312421306

The check box you need to tick in point 1 above is held in the registry. I don't
use home products so I cannot tell you exatly which key it is

Thank you for your reply

I've ticked the box many times...it still comes up

As I stated in my post, the program is a brand new, downloaded program from
Indiana University's online service that is totally current with current
definition files. (Symantec AntiVirus 10.1.6.6000 with scan engine
71.3.0.25) The previously installed program (last year's version of the
above) indicated that the files were up to date as well. I run XP Pro, and
it seems to me that it is a Windows issue because, again all files were up to
date...even with the 10.1.5 version.

I've gone to Symantec's site and there is nothing that addresses the issue

Jeff,

Do you know there is a patch for this version?

You can download here:

http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/support/downloads.jsp?pid=51852

It will update to 10.1.6.6010

Looking through the registry I came across this:

START | RUN | Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press ENTER

Navigate to:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Administr
atorOnly\General

In the right pane you have:

Key Name: DisplayOutdatedMessage
Type: DWORD
Value: [set to 0 (zero)]

and

Key Name: WarnAfterDays
Type: DWORD
Value: 1E (30) [Default]

Close the registry editor

Another place to ask your question is here:

https://forums.symantec.com/syment/board?board.id=endpointcust

A Symantec professional should respond to you regarding this issue

Your scan engine is the same as mine. So, you are using SAVCE

Sorry, forgot to add

There is also this under the regsitry key from my last post:

Ok, lets stop all the BS. There's a much easier way to get around start up
annoying messages. Go to Start-Run-type "msconfig" without the "s. You'll
then get a box System Configuration Utility with 6 different option tags.
Choose Startup and uncheck and Apply the boxes you don't want to see at
startup. Be careful though. You better create a restore point before prunning
out the programs. Unless your totally certain what your doing, but still I
always create a restore point anytime I download or install anything. It's a
good habit to have.
I was getting an aggravating McAfee notice to update my virus scan. Well,
everytime I hit the tab to continue to update it gave me an error message.
This went on for months before I got read an article about how to prune out
my Startup programs. I can thank PC World for that article.
Good Luck, attilathehun1

You may want to try some of Symantec uninstallers, and then afterwards,
use a better anti-virus program.
