Re: Scaninig pc's with norton anti virus

[dave_mikesch () baxter com]

You should definitely schedule at least a weekly scan.
Two reasons off the top of my head:
1) An infected file may be present that NAV may not have had a definition
file for at the time it was put on the hard drive.
2) Infected files can hide in zip files. A full scan will scan zip files.
