Norton Security keeps logs of all surfing activities even if you clean your web cache history.
i have a feeling this info gets sent to norton when you update.
It is an annoying process to clean them thru norton (even if there is a feature saying "disable logging" (which you have to turn on every time you reboot)
I manually clik the update.
so....
the logs are kept here (theyre all ..log)
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton Internet Security\Log
i cant seem to get the batch file right so it deletes them
del C:\docume~1\All Us~1\Applic~1\Symant~1\Norton~1\Log\*.*
???
OR?
@echo on
c:
cd \
cd docume~1\All Us~1\Applic~1\
rd /s/q Symant~1\Norton~1\Log
???
both these dont work....
Also since the norton services are running you cant delete them unless you turn off the processes so i think a batch file looking like this would work (after the initial delete .logs batch is worked out)

does that look feasable?
What would be great is that after running the batch it then automatically does the update......
If someone knows how to write the delete logs batch correctly it would be great.
Or maybe there is a simpler way
any advice?
thanks
