i'm using Norton Antivirus 2003. My virus definitions are up-to-date. i need to install Norton Antivirus 2003 on my buddy's computer, but he has dial-up. with his 56k modem it would take a very long time to download all the virus defintions.
is there a way to copy the file/folder where the virus definitions reside so i may put them on his computer and avoid hours of downloading?
Has free on-line up-dates as you surf and doesn't bog down your PC and best of all....it's free
If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Changes in registry can be FATAL! Glad to have a chance to help you.

download the intelligent updater at symantec.com that will bring the definitions up to date. there'll still be a large program update, that's only available thru liveupdate.
