New Norton Anti Virus Update Problem?
Is there a new issue with NAV and revised updating software? (Windows ME & NAV 2001). Has anyone been able to update virus definitions later that Feb. 13?
The Symantec site is very confusing regarding new Live update procedures. Has anyone figured it out?

Yes you are right about the definition update on Feb. 15
I have Nav set to update automatically on my pc and I havent recieved the update yet. Sometimes it takes till the next day before you get them.

Guys,
There is one dated Feb. 15 but there seems to be a "Live Update" issue with "new" Symantec software. Did you try to obtain the Feb. 15 virus definitions?

Rolling Thunder,
There are no new virus definition updates after Feb. 13 so far.

Denny,
Thank you. I did that along with the latest version of "Live Update." What concerns me now, and yes I didn't state this for obvious reasons, is that NAV NOW tells me my subscription has run out, won't install the Feb. 15 definitions and I'm looking at a screen that says I have 179 days left..........

Contact Symantec and let them know.
They would be the best ones to help you with this issue.

Gentlemen,
I owe everyone an apology for being a Dufus. I downloaded and installed the larger "update" (5mgs+) at the bottom instead of the one Denny had pointed out at the top (3mgs+).
After reinstalling the former over the latter and receiving the latest virus definitions all is well and we have a "happy camper."
In my opinion Symantec does state that Windows ME can use either update according to their definitions but apparently not so. Please excuse the false alarm.
