I followed Avdens advise but it was already there in the registry. I uninstalled Norton restarted the computer and cleared the registry, restart again and installed Norton but still the same problem.
Now this hack is for the NAV Corp Edition, so use at you own risk.Quote:
Open Regedit.
Navigate to the registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\LiveUpdate\Sequences
Delete the NAV CORPORATE SERVER Key.
Delete the AVENGE MICRODEFS Folder.
Close the Registry Editor, and then rerun LiveUpdate. LiveUpdate should now recognize that it has never been updated and will perform a full download.

EDIT:
I just received this notification from Symantec, it may be related to your issue:

Symantec Security Response has posted virus definitions. These definitions
have been posted to correct a replication issue which may have resulted in
failed updates from the September 3, 2003 LiveUpdate post. The previous
definitions are not to be considered corrupted. Please download the latest
