IMPORTANT:  If your version of Norton AntiVirus is dated before December 
            1, 1995, you will need to update it using the NAV Macro 
            Engine Update in order to use these virus definitions. If you
            have not updated your version, download the NAV Macro Engine 
            Update from the Symantec BBS, CompuServe, America Online, 
            Microsoft Network, or Internet (FTP and WWW). The file is 
            called UPDATEME.EXE for NAV 3.0 or NAV95PCH.EXE for NAV for 
            Windows 95. They can be downloaded from where the monthly 
            update files are normally found.

            This update is available only for download.
