    oh im sure i will i just think its kinda ridiculous imo that 5 pc's in the same household and only one gets the update. i just dont see how they choose which to sent it to and why they dont all get it when doing a manual live update.. just doesnt make sense imo

    It might actually be a good thing, imagine if the newest version was found to have a serious bug, then all 5 of your systems could be corrupted.

    probably works off product key with some sort of algorithm server side

    product key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx rolls dice, if 1-9 no update, if 10, update, then they go if 1-8 no update, if 9/10 update


    would be my guess :)

    Got it after running Live Update on all three systems, it also required a restart of each.

    I'm lucky :D . (NAV2009) On three out off five I received the update. Still waiting for the other two. At this moment those two are having problems. (Security Content A error, after performing a manual update. There's a topic on there forum and apparently I'm not alone. This happend before on one of the five machine. I'm serious thinking on pulling the plug for this AV.

    Dunno if it's still applicable with todays versions....but years ago you could manually jump start an update on any norton/symantec product by doing Start==>Run==>LUALL

    LUALL doesn't work. If I'm right informed, liveUpdate has been redesigned. I do not believe there is an option to remove the virus defs cache.

    Thanks :)

    Update: it seems that for me the problem has been resolved on the two remaining pc's . Liveupdate just delivered a Security Content A update. Now I just have to wait for the program update.

    Maybe not. I haven't updated NIS '09 on a laptop I maintain for a local club for about 2 weeks, but that's because the machine hasn't been used since then.

    Hi :)


    I've never heard of Security Software before - Where...

    1/ Making a Scheduled Scan is such a.. Big Deal - Hassle - Fuss - Pain! :rolleyes:

    2/ As soon as we have a Big Update such as 16.2.0.7 ...
    Any Scans Scheduled .. Won't Work! :mad:
    Coz... It's lost it's path o_O

    If you ask me...
    Symantec is still running up the wrong dam path.
    Right Into - :thumbd:

    I'm Getting More And More Fed Up With - NIS 09 :mad:

    Since summer 2008 when I first beta tested NIS 2009, I was not able to get LU to work properly and update as it should. Ironically, the latest build actually updated definitions, etc. That said, I gave up on it. When a major player in the AV industry cannot get their product to update properly (Live Update) because of obvious program bugs, you have to ask what else is it not good at doing? My conclusion is that I would rather trust another AV that has always updated properly.

    The verdict (for me) regarding NIS 2009 is a big :thumbd:

    Hi,

    Just I gone through this thread and check NIS version on laptop.

    It is latest one, it think, it was updated automatically.

    Great, this is first time, when I have kept a security software for long time.
