Start the firewall program.

Most firewall programs display a small icon in the area near the clock. Try right-clicking or double-clicking the program icon.

Temporarily disable the firewall.

Read the program's help or contact the program publisher's support for instructions.

Start your Norton program and run LiveUpdate.

Reenable the firewall.
Change the settings in the firewall program so that the program allows the following file to connect to the Internet:

C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\LuComServer*.exe

If you are not sure how to do this, contact the firewall program publisher. When you have changed the rule, run LiveUpdate again.
