1. On
a machine with network connection,
follow Step 1. and 2. and extract the
files to C:\VirusScan\NSS and launch
NSS.exe.
The Virus definitions will download to
the local machine here: C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SymcData\virusdefs-2.5-e\<date.rev>).
2. In the C:\VirusScan\NSS folder,
create a folder called “VirusDef”
(example C:\VirusScan\NSS\VirusDef)
3. Copy all the virus definition folder
content from \<date.rev> folder
(example:20080725.003) into the VirusDef
folder
4. Copy the entire VirusScan folder to a
thumb drive.
5. Now you can start NSS.exe from the
thumb drive. It may complain about
definition might not be the latest, but
you can skip that message.
Cheers,
Thomas
