Hi People,
Since I upgraded to XP Pro from Win 98 SE, auto live update does not happen any more.
When I upgraded to XP, I uninstalled Norton antivirus 2002 and installed Norton antivirus 2003. All the boxes are ticked correctly in the options menu for auto update, but it won't go into live update like it did when I was on Win 98 and Norton 2002.
In scheduled tasks, "run live update" comes up as "could not start". The time shows an attempt every five minutes but could not start comes up.
What do I need to do?
Cheers,
Wrexy.

Bigsinky,
Thanks for that m8. At the moment I'm manually downloading the virus definitions by clicking live update on Norton AV. I try to do it once a week, on a Wednesday, cos that is the day they update the definitios unless something urgent comes up, where they update earlier. But sometimes I forget and a week or so may pass where I've forgotten to update which is why I wanted to get it to work.
