Hi, in our network we have both norton antivirus 2004 and norton corporate
(for older computers); basically in certain programs you have the option to
'virus-scan' when a file is recieved off yahoo messenger or MSN messenger.

What particular paramters should we, the network administrators, be putting
in place in the text boxes?

c:\program files\norton\program.exe ? or c:\program
files\norton\program.exe /variable ?

I have found *no* help what-so-ever on symantec's website or from
colleagues, so i suspect it's maybe not possible with our particular
versions of norton anti-virus.

Thanks in advance for any advice given...

In version 2003 of NAV, and in its included help, search on "scan from
command line" (also by searching on "DOS") to get a list of command-line
parameters you can use. My guess is you use:

<navpath>\NAVW32.exe %1

Since <navpath> may contain spaces, and so may the file parameter, you
might have to use:

"<navpath>\NAVW32.exe" "%1"

You might want to add the /noresults parameter (but which should still
display an alert dialog if a virus does get found).
