I bought this for a friend who had a Windows XP computer. It wouldn't run anything else but this version.

The Standard Anti-Virus Product Sep 15, 2009
By Acute Observer
This product from Symantec is for Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and Windows 3.1/DOS. The `Installation' chapter covers these three products. Each section covers the requirements needed, the installation, any questions, and uninstalling. The chapters for Windows 95/98 and Windows 3.1/DOS tell how to test the Norton Rescue Boot Disk, and what to do is you don't have Rescue Disks: do it before you find a problem. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 cover Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and Windows 3.x/DOS. The `Index' has 9 pages.

A computer virus is a program designed for malicious purposes, such as destroying files and programs. They can cause a computer to misbehave or do strange things. They don't infect or damage hardware. Norton AntiVirus eliminates viruses, repairs files, and protects your computer at startup or when you run a program. It checks files downloaded from the Internet. You should update your virus protection regularly. You can disable NAV Auto-Protect when installing a program. You should create Rescue Disks in case of an emergency. They should be updated for changes (pages I-8).

Pages I-11 to I-14 tell what to do if a virus is found. What if NAV can't repair a file? Read pages I-15 to I-18. If the master boot record and boot records are damaged by a virus and can't be repaired you need the Norton Boot Disk (page I-19). The next pages tell how to keep your virus protection current by using LiveUpdate to connect to the Internet. You must update your NAV Rescue Disks after applying updated virus definition files (page I-24). The last pages provide hints on Troubleshooting.

The chapters for Windows NT and Windows 3.x/DOS are similar in outline, some details will vary. [No one asked why Microsoft provided no protection for its operating system files but required others to do this.]
