Introducing Symantec

AntiVirus

This chapter includes the following topics:

■About Symantec AntiVirus

■About viruses

■About security risks

■How Symantec AntiVirus responds to viruses and security risks

■How Symantec AntiVirus protects your computer

■What keeps Symantec AntiVirus protection current

About Symantec AntiVirus

You can install Symantec AntiVirus™ virus and security risk protection as either

a stand-alone or an administrator-managed installation. A stand-alone

installation means that your Symantec AntiVirus software is not managed by a

network administrator.

If you manage your own computer, it must be one of the following types:

■A stand-alone computer that is not connected to a network, such as a home

computer or a laptop stand-alone, with a Symantec AntiVirus installation

that uses either the default option settings or administrator-preset options

settings

■A remote computer that connects to your corporate network that must meet

security requirements before connecting

10 Introducing Symantec AntiVirus

About Symantec AntiVirus

The default settings for Symantec AntiVirus provide virus and security risk

protection for your computer. However, you may want to adjust them to suit

your company’s needs, to optimize system performance, and to disable options

that do not apply.

If your installation is managed by your administrator, some options may be

locked or unavailable, or may not appear at all, depending upon your

administrator’s security policy. Your administrator runs scans on your

computer and can set up scheduled scans.

Your administrator can advise you as to what tasks you should perform by using

Symantec AntiVirus.

Note: Options that display a padlock icon are not available because they have

been locked by your administrator. You cannot change these options unless the

administrator unlocks them.

About updating stand-alone computers

Stand-alone computers may be connected to the Internet. In Symantec

AntiVirus documentation, the term stand-alone takes on an added dimension.

Stand-alone computers are not connected to a server; thus they do not receive

virus and security risk definitions updates from the server, and cannot be

managed by the Symantec System Center administrator program.

If you installed Symantec AntiVirus on a stand-alone computer, you are

responsible for updating the virus and security risk definitions. New definitions

files are available several times each month from Symantec. You will be alerted

when definitions files need replacing.

You can update the virus and security risk definitions files with LiveUpdate™.

LiveUpdate retrieves the new definitions files from a Symantec site, and then

replaces the old definitions files in the Symantec AntiVirus directory. A modem

or Internet connection is required.

See “Updating protection immediately with LiveUpdate” on page 35.
