    To stop Old Virus Definition File message follow the step :
    Navigate to the following folder (for the server):
    <drive>:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Symantec\Packager\Products\{7D2B86CA-2D5D-469E-92ED-E56B62BD1D3C}.8.0.0.374\Files\BinaryTable\CD_Install_Files\Data\Registry

    or for the client:

    <drive>:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Symantec\Packager\Products\{0EFC6259-3AD8-4CD2-D4937AF5CC0E}.8.0.0.374\Files\BinaryTable\CD_Install_Files\Data\Registry
    Use a text editor such as Notepad.exe to edit the CmnLM.Reg file.
    Search the CmnLM.Reg file for the following string:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\General
    Under this string you should see the following line:
    "ShowVPIcon"=dword:00000001
    Place the cursor at the end of this line and press Enter to add a new blank line underneath.
    Paste the following text into the new blank line:
    "DisplayOutdatedMessage"=dword:00000000

    The section should now read as follows:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\AdministratorOnly\General
    "ShowVPIcon"=dword:00000001
    "DisplayOutdatedMessage"=dword:00000000
    Save your changes to CmnLM.Reg and close the text editor.
    Use Symantec Packager to recreate the Symantec AV server installation.

    You can run LiveUpdate to update virus definitions or you can use the Intelligent Updater to download them Or another option is Click on Symantec AntiVirus icon > Click File > click Schedule Updates >Select the Enable automatic scheduled updates checkbox >Click Schedule . > In the Virus Definition Update Schedule window > click on Daily button > select time at which you want to update Symantec AntiVirus then click on ok.
