Interesting thread! I wonder if somebody could help me with this please?
I recently bought a more powerful Dell machine running Win xp home. On my previous machine running Win 98 SE and using AOL had the free Zone Alarm firewall and the basic Norton Antivirus. These seemed to get along together and the 'Liveupdate' worked well with the yellow window appearing stage right every so often to tell me that it had done its business.
On upgrading to Win xp, I found the Zonealarm firewall was a bit difficult to manage so I installed the free download from AOL of the Macafee 'Personal Plus' firewall which seems to sit there and do the job unobtrusively. However I cannot get the Norton Antivirus to update itself automatically. I follow the Norton instructions religiously. If I click on the 'Liveupdate' icon on the Norton Panel, it will run through it and update if necessary, but it will not do it itself. Before you ask, Automatic Live Update is ticked in the box and the firewall grants Liveupdate Com Module full access.
Any ideas anyone? Win xp, AOL, Macafee Personal Plus firewall,
and Norton Antivirus.
Cheers,
