Symantec AntiVirus 10.2 for Windows Vista

Description

Symantec AntiVirus is Stanford's site-licensed anti-virus software.

One of the most important features of Symantec AntiVirus (SAV) is LiveUpdate, which enables SAV to automatically retrieve new virus definitions. This ensures that SAV is prepared to detect the latest viruses. After installing SAV, make sure you configure LiveUpdate to update the virus definitions files on a regular basis. One of the most common reasons computer virus problems occur is that, after installation, antivirus users forget to update the software's virus definitions file.
