Options for updating virus definitions in Norton products

 Do you use a Macintosh computer? If you do, we have different instructions for you. MACINTOSH STEPS

You can run LiveUpdate to update virus definitions or you can use the Intelligent Updater to download them.

 

LiveUpdate. This is the easiest way to update definitions. The definitions file that LiveUpdate downloads is small. And, when you run LiveUpdate, you may be offered needed product updates as well.

Intelligent Updater. This file is larger than the LiveUpdate file, so the download may take some time if you have a dial-up connection.



This solution requires that you use Internet Explorer. If this page is open in any other Web browser, open it in Internet Explorer.
