Locating the latest virus definitions
The Symantec Recovery Disk CD includes virus definitions. However, to help
protect your computer from the latest threats, you should use the latest virus
definitions that are available. The Update Locator locates the latest virus
definitions that are available from Symantec. You must run the Update Locator
on a working computer that has Internet access. You can save the virus definitions
to a disk and then use them on the troubled computer.
Note: Depending on which version of the product you have purchased, the SRD
is either included on your product CD, or as a separate CD. You should place the
CD containing the SRD in a safe place. Should you lose the CD, you can create a
new one if you have a CD burner. See If driver validation fails in the Norton Ghost™
User's Guide.
