OSL Support: Antivirus

Updated: 5/12/07

Symantec AntiVirus and Dell 745s

Dell OptiPlex 745 computers have a problem with Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition version 10. The startup scan goes into an endless loop and the computer black-screens. This is caused by a conflict with the SATA optical driver in the Dell XP installation. Upgrading to SAVCE 10.1.5.5000 fixes the problem. (All of the 745 images from OSL Support have this version of SAVCE).

How to Configure Symantec AV Live Updates

Because of the barrage of worms and other exploits, you should schedule Symantec Live Updates every day on staff computers. If you use Deep Freeze on public computers, set Live Updates to take place at the same time as Windows Updates.
  • Double-click on the Symantec shield icon in the system tray.
  • On the File menu of Symantec AntiVirus, select Schedule Updates.
  • Click the Schedule button
  • Select a Frequency of Daily, and then pick a time when the computer is likely to be on, or if the computer has .
  • Click OK twice, then click Exit.

Purchase Symantec AV

Members can purchase licenses for the latest Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition through the CLAN Office.
