Why does NAV indicate a virus alert with the Flash Player?
Issue
Norton AntiVirus for Windows 95/98/NT indicates that there is a Trojan horse virus attached to the Flash Player and EXE files created by Flash. The virus is called PWSteal. This includes stand-alone projectors and files on the Flash 4 install CD.
Reason
The Virus Definitions for NAV, dated 12-27-99, cause an erroneous message to be displayed, telling users that these files contain a virus.
There is no virus attached to these files. They are safe to use. This has been confirmed by Macromedia and Symantec.
Solution
Download the latest virus definitions from Symantec's Web site.
