Have you looked at deploying the grc.dat file? &nbsp;When one of our users gets hosed, we just force down the grc.dat file from the Symantec server to the client. &nbsp;The client checks for this, I believe every 30 minutes??? &nbsp;Worst case, it automatically gets read when the PC is rebooted or the Symantec service is restarted. &nbsp;Check this out:<br />

I don't know if we use grc.dat on the client PC or not. &nbsp;I am looking into the way the update server functions. &nbsp;So far, what I have found is that without IE6, nothing happens. &nbsp;I understand you can get to SAV v9 with only 5.5 SP2 still another install is required. &nbsp;Is there any way to get SAV v7,8,or 9 to SAV10 without a newer IE version?

We have 2000+ users accross our network and some have stopped communicating with the Symantec Update Server. &nbsp;The problem we have with the way Symantec works is that it waits for the client to communicate with it before it can push an update. &nbsp;We want to force this to happen. &nbsp;Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
