Using LiveUpdate Email

WHY? Whenever a major virus threat is discovered that requires an update to your virus protection, Symantec can notify you by email so you can run LiveUpdate immediately. The email includes an attachment that can start a LiveUpdate session for you.

To receive LiveUpdate Email:

1.Point your Internet browser to

www.symantec.com/avcenter/newsletter.html

2.Fill out the registration form.

3.Click the Subscribe Me button. Symantec will notify you by email whenever protection updates are available.

To start a LiveUpdate session from the LiveUpdate Email:

When you receive a LiveUpdate Email, launch or run the email attachment called LIVEUPDT.NLU from your mail program.

You must launch or run the attachment; simply reading or viewing it will not work. When the attachment runs, it automatically starts a LiveUpdate session on your computer. You don’t have to do anything else.

Scheduling automatic LiveUpdates

WHY? Scheduling a LiveUpdate to run automatically is the best way to ensure that you don’t forget to update virus protection every month.

To schedule automatic LiveUpdates:

1.Start Norton AntiVirus.

2.In the Norton AntiVirus main window, click Scheduler.

3.Click Add.
