    Another comprehensive source for A/V tools is on the VirusBulletin site <http://www.virusbtn.com/index.xml> where you can find a good comparison between the various vendor products. They are fairly even-handed about their test environments and give good reviews and summaries. Might be worth a look.

    Yep norton is my fav too. I don't have any problem with the updates either. Sgear17, you should go to the norton help pages and get the fix for that problem and like nightgirl says if that doesn't work get the hammer.

    I am an AVG fan myself. It has a smaller footprint on the hd and ram - updates are easily scheduled or handled manually and you gotta love the price-tag.

    Sgear, you can also d/l the signatures via FTP by going to ftp.symantec.com then navigate through the public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton_antivirus and download the current *-x86.exe file and all should be well. As for why your system is not updating - who knows? How old is the software? Did your license possibly expire? If you are trying to run LiveUpdate are you behind a proxy? Is your firewall blocking you? Is the config correct and pointing to the Symantec LiveUpdate site?

    You can also check the knowledge base (under support) for the problems you are having and may find a workable solution fairly soon.
