Re: Scheduled tasks won't start

a) Yes
b) Instructions to automatically download and install the latest virus
defs from the Symantec website.

Here's the whole code from the cmd file copied/pasted:

@set COPY_XDB_TO="c:\Program Files\Symantec AntiVirus\"
@set RAPIDRELEASE=1
@set XDBTEMP=%temp%

@rem
==============================================================================================
@rem Set RAPIDRELEASE=1 to download repidrelease definitions,
RAPIDRELEASE=0 for fully QA'd definitions (standard).
@rem Change COPY_XDB_TO= to point to the SAV CE server directory (or
where you want the XDB file copied)
@rem you can also run the script directly from the SAV folder and it
will copy the definitions there.
@rem XDBTEMP is the temp folder the script will use while downloading
definitions, set to %temp% to use system default
@rem
==============================================================================================
@rem Script for downloading virus definition updates for
@rem Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition version 8.x and 9.x
@rem This unsupported utility is provided for your convenience only.
@rem Symantec Technical Support cannot provide support for the
creation,
@rem use, or troubleshooting of Windows scripts.
