Hello there,

I have a Symantec Corp. Edition Antivirus v. 7.01 installed.
You know, that Symantec don't update virus Database
for free anymore.
But they provide free of charge online entire computer checking.
I did it ( they upload me the enavweb.cab (size = 2.9 Mb), containin
up-to-date virus database).
What is my problem?
That enavweb.cab contains virus database as
virscan1.dat ... virscan9.dat files, but my Corp. Edition
requires Vir Database as a .vdb file.
My question:
Who knows where from could I download a free .dat to .vdb Symantec
virus database converter?
If I could do such a conversion, I get a new up-to-date virus
database for free.
Any advices, or/and links, please.

Note: My OS is Windows-98 SE

That's a pretty old version. It's out of date. Doesn't have the latest scan
engine. Quit screwin' around and get a product that will at least offer the
protection you appear to be looking for. If you can afford a connection to
the internet, surely you can afford an AV utility. If not, get a free one.
Christ, ETrust is offering theirs free, for one year. (mumble-cheap

Sorry boy, but IMHO, it's still true.

We are using NAV 7.51 and testing SAV 8.1.0825 as well. Both require a ..vdb
file
What's still true? What's the point you're trying to get me to see?
