Guest Jeff Neufer Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 A few days ago I started getting a window everytime I start or re-start. The Window's top line is "Old Virus Definition File" with the text "The virus definition file used is more than 30 days old.... I use one of Symantec's anti virus programs and the program WAS up to date with the most current def file. I uninstalled the Symantec program and installed the most current version of the program and updated all of the def files. I still get the window evertime I start/re-start. Clicking the box to not remind me, turning off the Security Center Anti Virus monitoring, etc does not eliminate this very annoying window. Any ideas?
Guest Newbie Coder Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: Annoying start up message Jeff, 1) You have a box you can tick to say don't show this again 2) Has the subscription run out? 3) Contact Symantec Support (http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/support/index.jsp) 4) You can download the Intelligent Updater file (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/defs.download.html) instead of using Live Update. Go to the above page, scroll down, choose your av version, click the download button & then on the next page you will have the file Example: 20070731-016-i32.exe (http://definitions.symantec.com/defs/20070731-016-i32.exe) 5) On support I found this document, but you never told the newsgroup your exact product you're using: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/nav.nsf/docid/2001091312421306 The check box you need to tick in point 1 above is held in the registry.

Guest Jeff Neufer Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: Annoying start up message Thank you for your reply I've ticked the box many times...it still comes up As I stated in my post, the program is a brand new, downloaded program from Indiana University's online service that is totally current with current definition files. (Symantec AntiVirus 10.1.6.6000 with scan engine 71.3.0.25) The previously installed program (last year's version of the above) indicated that the files were up to date as well. I run XP Pro, and it seems to me that it is a Windows issue because, again all files were up to date...even with the 10.1.5 version. I've gone to Symantec's site and there is nothing that addresses the issue "Newbie Coder" wrote: > Jeff, > > 1) You have a box you can tick to say don't show this again > 2) Has the subscription run out? > 3) Contact Symantec Support > (http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/support/index.jsp) > 4) You can download the Intelligent Updater file > (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/defs.download.html) instead of > using Live Update.

Guest attilathehun1 Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Re: Annoying start up message Ok, lets stop all the BS. There's a much easier way to get around start up annoying messages. Go to Start-Run-type "msconfig" without the "s. You'll then get a box System Configuration Utility with 6 different option tags. Choose Startup and uncheck and Apply the boxes you don't want to see at startup. Be careful though. You better create a restore point before prunning out the programs. Unless your totally certain what your doing, but still I always create a restore point anytime I download or install anything. It's a good habit to have. I was getting an aggravating McAfee notice to update my virus scan. Well, everytime I hit the tab to continue to update it gave me an error message. This went on for months before I got read an article about how to prune out my Startup programs. I can thank PC World for that article.
