One thing I've noticed when working with Norton, is AFTER you run Live Update, and it asks you to reboot the computer - DON'T REBOOT THE COMPUTER. The fucking program liveupdate is done, yet, and the fucking new virus data files aren't installed until it is. In fact, select 'no' to rebooting the computer, and make sure all norton live update windows have disappeared (they may ask you a question before they disappear - but that may just be for the 1st time it's run - otherwise it will eventually close on it's own). Once there's no more windows open (i.e. none shown in the task bar or whatever you called it at the bottom of the screen), THEN you can reboot your machine.

The first time I ran this, I let the machine reboot on it's own, it caused a window 'live update not responded' as it tried to shut it down (since it was still running), so i decided to let it wait, and close on it's own - which i thought it did, and I waited 2 fucking hours for the virus scanner to scan through all my infected files while it didn't find a thing.

The 2nd time, I followed the advice that I'm now giving you, and it works.

Hope this helps.
