Norton 2006 - LiveUpdate won't work

Unknown

Hi!

I'm new to this forum, but hope anyone can help me with this little problem I've encountered today. I've just installed Norton AntiVirus 2006, but when I try to run LiveUpdate, it won't start and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Here is my HiJackThis log:

hi freska, over looking your log I see nothing amiss (infections etc) as for the Norton LU not working.. have you tried reinstalling it completely? I always use to have problems w/ Symantec so i switched to a FREE antivirus program which I feel is alot better AVG but thats just my personal opinion i'm sure you payed good $ (as did I at the time I had norton) for it and want to atleast use it for the year of update subscriptions you paid for also might wanna try this-->http://searchg.symantec.com/search?access=p&output=xml_no_dtd&sort=date%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&site=symc_en_US&ie=UTF-8&spell=1&client=symc_en_US&oe=UTF-8&proxystylesheet=symc_en_US&q=liveupdate+error+&ip=24.55.197.154&start=10 its very long but maybe it'll help you Good luck!
edit: I also just found this-->http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sharedtech.nsf/docid/2001100616424406?Open&src=&docid=2002011609232606&nsf=sharedtech.nsf&view=d3c44a1678bd8f45852566aa005902cb&dtype=&prod=&ver=&osv=&osv_lvl= its on a specific problem so maybe that'll be bit more help then my 1st link that just provides a search

OK, thanks anyway.
I'm starting to get tired of Symantec trying to take over all of my configuration on my machine, so maybe I'll give AVG a try instead. Thanks for the tip!

What jmoney3457 said about Norton vs. AVG is right on the money, in my opinion. I had to install/uninstall/reinstall Norton '05 on my dad's computer about three or four times before it finally would work. When his subscription ran out I switched him over to AVG and he has been very happy with it.

Back in the day (around the late 90s) I wouldn't use anything but Norton. Then, as with so much "big name" software, it gradually devolved into a bloated mess. I wouldn't use it now if they gave it to me free of charge.
