I just installed Norton Firewall 2006 and NAV 2006 under Win XP Pro, but the Live Update is haveing a problem downloading updates for the intrusion detection signatures. All other downloads under Live Update work fine, but Intrustion Detection Signatures is always marked with a red 'X,' meaning that it's not working properly. Needless to say, it never indicates the availability of any new downloads, nor tries to install them.
Does anybody know what's wrong and how to fix it?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sincere condolences.
I underlined, what's going wrong. BTW: this is not Symantec support here.

Probably adware/spyware has subverted your update routines. Sad that it's even possible, but it is.
Download several adware/spyware cleaners and run them all in safe mode, then try your updates again.

No, please don't do this. Instead, better read this:

M-hm. And you have some rather striking arguments to support that opinion of yours, I suppose?

Yeah, I fixed my machine. The barometer I use as to whether it is infected is whether the ISP times out properly when I'm away from the desk. If that happens, I know that something sneaky isn't holding the door open and stealing spare cycles while I'm not around.

What makes you believe you found everything?
Meaning you would for example miss out on everything that just transmits data when there already is network activity. IOW you simply failed to understand what the article is all about. I thought so.
