Norton Live Update????

**Rahwgwar** · February 16th, 2003, 05:30 PM

Has anyone received their latest update from Symantec? I have auto-update enabled and when it wouldn't update on Wednesday (the day it normally does), I became worried. I tried to do it from within the program as well. I kept getting an error message and now it is Sunday, which means it is long overdue. Is the Live Update server down right now? Thanks for the help.

PS: I've done this with literally nothing else running too except an open internet connection and callwave and such. And I've tried multiple times. I'm running Norton 2002. And isn't can not spelt "cannot"? You will see what I mean with the attached pic.

Well, I have had no problem with my updates, but I have disabled automatic update. Mine are always done manually, as I hate that extra stuff running.

i ran it about an hour ago...didn't seem to be any problems...maybe try reinstalling?

I got that message. Mine is due in about a month!

Mine says 381days left.

I heard they would dicontinue service for 2002 soon, maybe get 2003 pro from your friendly online store ;)

Update works right now for me

A complete reinstall may help you, I'll check to see if norton has any FAQ's

Just had a thought, go to http://securityresponse.symantec.com.../download.html and get the manul updates

Your subscription may be out of date, but I think it just tells you that...

**Rahwgwar** · February 17th, 2003, 02:05 AM

Yeah, I guess my best bet would be to reinstall. It's only gonna be the 5th or 6th time but what the hell. BTW, when u reinstall your subscription service starts all over, lol. Trust me, I've had experience and I even pointed it out to the Norton crew and I think I mentioned it in a thread, but that was long ago.

Hell, I can't even get the executable to work now. But just as a note, I'm almost 100% SURE that I was still viable for updates, meaning the subscription WAS NOT up.

PS: Sorry for my slow response, but my email updater thing doesn't work quite so well sometimes. Thanks for all help and I shall not need any further assistance at this time, unless something else pops up. Thank you again.

Cannot is not (isnot?):upside a word. It's two words!
BTW NAV2K2 liveupdate works for me. I set all of my software to manual update. I'm a control freak!:black Had a Trojan dropper slip past auto-protect though. Found it on my last scan. It's a new Trojan detected only by latest virus definitions. Fastrack is so infected I wear a condom when I'm P2P-ing!:goodjob

my subscription service is valid for a long long long long time. i doubt the liveupdate servers will still be running when my subscription expires....

and yeah i don't run automatic liveupdate either. i prefer to keep my pc a lean mean fighting machine.

cannot is a word!

see: http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/Cannot

Am, is, or are, not able; -- written either as one word or two.

dude you cannot say that 'cannot' is a word because it is!

if ur subscription is up you get a different error, i remember it says something about it cant find the server (ud think theyd put a link to buy another year's worth lol)

anyway i wouldnt know anymore, i gave up on norton it dint work proper for me on winxp an its a resource hog, i used avg pro for a long time but then the developers stopped the usage of the key i was usin, i tried nod32 but that stopped workin for sum reason and now im usin panda. i like it, its very fast.

**overdo** · February 17th, 2003, 01:30 PM

@nasrules. i admit norton is a bit bloaty but to be honest my pc can handle it. still takes about 5 seconds to load from the taskbar though. the firewall is good except for the fact i can't figure out how to enable referers for specific sites.

**Rahwgwar** · February 17th, 2003, 06:34 PM

Ok, I don't know what the hell happened. I reinstalled Norton and it's still giving me the same error message. I guess I have to stick to Intelligent Updater from now on.
