Me too...and Live Update fails every month around the 15th. Norton's not on
my list of favorites anymore...took me all day to remove all traces of it
and went with Computer Associates AV...seems now my machine runs much mo
better too.

and got rid of WinFax Pro too...happy happy now.

| Alan,

| and we have always been very happy with it.
|
| But, about 4 months ago, we did the normal annual update (and paid for it)
| and we have not been able to get any of it running since. It apparently
| messed up the Microsoft Installer and I spent about two solid weeks
talking
| to everyone from Calcuta and Bombay to Norton and Microsoft headquarters.
I
| was on a first name basis with both Norton and Microsoft tech guys. I
| finally gave up and put on Grisoft AVG free. I might try to attack the
| problem one more time when I have some spare time ... which might be
never.
| But, it does piss me off that we paid for a full year subscription and
| didn't get anything out of it. I have a very bad taste in my mouth over
it.
|
| Good luck,
|
| Tom
