Well- you certainly have nothing to worry over. As the link you so graciously provided is the same given within Live Update itself. So you have done nothing at all. No work for you.

The idea was simply to inquire if others using similiar software encountered this same problem. And if they had, then listen to their suggestion(s).



Really. You are the sort of person who would give cab fare to the victim of a horrific automobile accident and tell them that the hospital is "thad'da way", aren't you? If you cannot be part of the solution and offer friendly help, then do nothing. Kindly give no reply at all. If you can however, please by all means do so as there is always a point where help and kindness is returned. No one appreciates apathetic sarcasm.

I am very used to dealing with Norton products and would prefer not going over to anything else unless absolutely necessary. Despite their tendencies to consume enormous amounts of system resources, I do think their level of protections is by far, some of the best I had heard of. The Anti-Spam, Productivity Controls and Privacy features are "must haves" to me. It just means that these are Symantec products, in terms of processor power and memory, where wimpy PC's "need not apply".

Actually, I had thought with almost everyone on the board here, who is most likely using the TDA rip of this product, there would be someone who unfortunately encountered this little annoyance before and have a means (without going through all the bullshit that Symantec suggests) to alleviate it.



shn : yours is an interesting idea. What exactly would I be looking for in terms of product and version?

[shn]

I use 7.60.926 got it from balamm some time ago. Any 7.60.xxx version would do though. I think emule has a better selection when it comes to version choice. Btw, emule is "thad'da way" ----->

The newer versions of corporate tend to have a problem with xp for some reason it wants to be a client to a norton av server instead of installing as a standalone av.

However they may have fixed that issue by now. I am going to have to download another copy myself when I get time because I seem to have lost the one I had although the product is still installed and working fine..

Aw, did you get upset that I posted a link that you&#39;d visited? Perhaps you could&#39;ve mentioned that you&#39;d checked the Symantec site and followed their instructions, rather than saying:<!--QuoteBegin-Izagaia@4 February 2004 - 18:36
...and I have not the faintest clue what it was that I had done to bring this about. Yet Live Update, for whatever reason, does not want to "update" anything.[/quote]
FFS from your reaction I don&#39;t have a communication problem, perhaps you should take note.

"Faintest clue" as in a setting change or something somehow downloaded in malicsiously from a past use of Live Update.

Forgive my giving your apparent intelligence and communication skills so much credit.


Ah yes- it is soooo "noted" now...

LOL, and you still missed the point.

With those three words, you infer that you haven&#39;t checked the Symantec website.

If you find me ignorant- then enlighten me.

Fully? No. Of course not. Why scan through pages upon pages of needless topics and possibilities when I have only to ask for your particular brand of kind and helpful assistance? The idea here which so you have so obviously gone to lengths in showing hindsight towards was "relying on past user experiences" with this product. Rather than scores of mere "hit or miss" options to attempt from a source which would not even begin to be able to relate to my specific problem.

Interfacing with a human is always the more promising for help and guidance rather than an uncaring webpage. Or does that logic elude you as well?

[shn]

Are you guys still goin at it?

Anyway...............Izagaia, did you ever find a copy of norton corp? Im in need of a hash bad
