Norton Live Update won't
Have a customer's computer with NAV 2003 on it... subscription paid up till
next year sometime. When he tries to run liveupdate, it hangs on "confirming subscription status", then eventually pops up a message saying it can't connect to the Symantec server to confirm that his subscription is up to date. First thing I suspected was the hosts file, but there's not a hosts file on the computer anywhere. There's lmhosts.sam and hosts.sam but those are clean. I eventually had him download the definitons from the Symantec site and update them that way. Then he did a full system scan and came up with "no problems". He runs SpyBot S&D and AdAware regularly and rarely finds anything but a few cookies. He has no problem browsing, And he didn't have any problem getting to www.symantec.com either, come to think of it. So that rules out my hosts file theory anyway. Any ideas? -- -- Puritanism: the haunting fear that someone somewhere may be happy. -- |

Did that (see below).
I just thought of something though. He runs Zone Alarm and at some time it may have asked permission to let Live Update run and the he may have checked the "remember" box and then clicked NO. As soon as he gets back home, I'll call him and have him check that.

That was it! Zone Alarm was blocking it. Thanks for your response though.
