  • 1.  Symantec Antivirus 9 install on non OS drive

    Posted Aug 05, 2009 11:03 AM
    Hi,

    I want to install symantec antivirus client on a seperate partition. The OS is installed on the C drive and the partition is to small to fit symantec antivirus on. so I want to instal it on the other partition but it automatically installs on the C drive. How can I change this?

    Thank you

    I am not sure if this is possible with SAV9.

    How about resizing the drive partitions and installing on the c drive?

    Hi,

    I'd like to remember that SAV 9 is not supported anymore, it means that it is too old and does not offer a good protection. Move to SAV 10.
    If you can't do it because you still have Windows 98, it is not supported anymore as well, so replace the PC.
    If you still work with this old stuff, be aware of the potential security issues you could face in the future.

    Regards,

    Seeing that we are using windows NT I had to use 9. That worked like a charm. Thanks

    I think you know that Windows NT is dead as well and now it just represents a security hole in your network.
