NIS 2009 - Problem with Liveupdate

where are you guys checking the version? just curious i am looking under help and support and then about what version does it say

 

That's where I'm looking. Still version 16.0.0.125.

 

Mine is updating and that is the version I have also. 16.0.0.125 I called Symantec support and was told that I do have the latest released version. So I guess all is working well here.

 

I have 16.1.0.33 here... NIS2009

 

Mine is also 16.1.0.33 (NAV 2009).

 

Still at .125 on three systems here.

 

i just downloaded it from here as a trial http://shop.symantecstore.com/store...ntTheme/ThemeID.106300/pbPage.Trialware_en_US

and did a fresh install on another system and it was the newest version may be worth a try to uninstall and re-install??

 

I see it's the same over at the Norton forum. Some NIS/NAV2009 users have received the update, some haven't. I still haven't. You would think that Symantec would make sure all customers would receive this update.

I don't want to have to go through the hassle of uninstall/reinstalling. I don't see why I should have to do that. I believe this version update should be automatic to all NIS/NAV 2009 customers.

 

Got this reply at Norton forum...........

They [symantec] are Releasing this in a more controlled manner, so all Users should eventually get the Fix.


A controlled manner? What ever.

 

Consider that Symantec has to roll out the update across multiple servers for users world wide - there is some lag time and it will become available for some users before others. There's nothing unusual about this.

 

I just rechecked my version of NIS 2009, and now have the newer version. Maybe restarting my notebook this evening was the answer, but otherwise from that, I have no idea when the update was downloaded.

 

mine updated to 16.1.0.33 today

 

All 3 updated to .33 now.

 

I finally got it. Funny thing is I didn't realize I got the update. I did a restart for something else I was doing. The reason I knew I had the update was because there was a NIS 2009 shortcut icon on my desktop that wasn't there before.

 

After I got 16.1.0.33 today liveupdate and pulse updates works for the first time..no more manuals needed.
The best suite I ever used...

 

I do not have .33 yet, but, for the first time since I started beta testing NIS 2009, it appears LU/pulse udpates are working properly with no manual updates required. And as I said months ago, the suite is awesome in terms of lightness and the speed of the updates. If updates continue to work as they are now, I will restate what I said months ago- this software is a major innovation and remarkable achievement.

 

Same thing happened here, with NAV 2009.


Cheers

 

A few people at the Norton forum stated that their computer became sluggish after the update. I haven't noticed anything like that. No slow downs in boot up or browsing. NIS 2009 is still light and fast. Great suite. Big to Symantec.


P.S. Please disregard my remarks in my previous posts. Sometimes I get too impatient. It's not a good thing.

 

couple things bother me about streaming updates 'so to speak', I run a laptop & it's always either in use or in sleep mode. When I 'restore' the desktop, how do I know it picked up say the last 2 hours of updates? I asked this while testing & never got a good answer. I mean it's not like Kaspersky that gives a time & you know about every other hour your due an update. Or like Nod32 which gives you a version update & actaully throws a popup to show you have updated. You actually have to look to see the time of the update, I have not gotten comfortable with this manner of updates, I hate to say it but I'm suspious of what you may have missed. I have gone back to Nod32 as I guess I have been brain washed by it's standard behaviors of updates & I somehow feel better protected. That maybe incorrect thinking but at least I know what updates I have or have not received...

 

i am noticing a slow start up with ff3 after a restart with the new update i didnt see this before.. hopefully its just a temp thing and it only happens the first time i open ff3 after a reboot any times after that its fine

 

On the left click CPU usage and take a look under background jobs...

 

it shouldn't be that hard as I said to the folks that ran the testing people will not know. I guess tho I tested it I just don't trust the new system & tho Norton tested just fine somehow it always comes back to get you...just my 2 cents...

 

Hi

I first noticed people talking about the new version of NIS 09 ( 16.1.0.33 ) .. About 3 days ago.

Since Then... I've Sat Waiting!
Waiting for NIS 09 to tell me... " You Must Restart Your Computer "

3 Days Later!
This morning I started to wonder if the update would ever arrive
I Decided To Do The Check ...
Open - NIS 09
Click On - Help and Support
Click On - About

Guess What?
I've already got - NIS 09 : 16.1.0.33

But when did I get it?
And if this update requires a Restart ... Why didn't NIS 09 tell me - " You Must Restart Your Computer "

When I booted up my laptop - Yesterday .. It was a little slower than normal.
So perhaps I had received the update the day before.
OR...
Maybe I only got the update Yesterday
I did run Live Update myself twice yesterday ( Because Pulse Updates Had Stopped )
I think I got 3 updates the first time
And 4 the second time.
I was never asked to Restart my laptop

Also Yesterday...
My NIS 09 Icon Disappeared From My - Taskbar
I quickly set it back to -SHOW
However!
I've noticed this does tend to happen after large NIS 09 Updates ... On My Laptop.
The same thing happens with AVG 8 too! ... On My Desktop Computer

Now I don't know what to do
What if I only got the update - Today
Do I need to Restart my Laptop?

Then Again!
If like people say...
The version number doesn't change until the computers is - Restarted!
Then I couldn't have had this update today .. Could I?
Coz without a Restart.. The new version number wouldn't be showing .. Would it?

If the new version of NIS 09 did come in those 2 lots of updates .. I Ran Myself - Yesterday!
Then I should be OK
Coz...
I Had The Firefox Version Update : 3.0.4 later that day.
And even though I wasn't asked ...
Just in case ... I Did Restart My Laptop

I'm Confused!
I don't know If I should be Restarting my Laptop .. Or Not!
For all I Know... I could have had that update - Today
OR!
I could have had the update as much as 4 days ago

Thanks!

 

I also got the update without knowing it and it didn't require a restart.
