I have been running Norton System Works 2005 on an XP system.
Everything has been working great for the past year (at least) but now
I can't download the virus definitions. Once I start LiveUpdate, it
gets the place where it is "Synchronizing with the Symantec Server" and
then it just hangs (and I have waited for at least a half hour). I
tried the help from Symantec and disabled the microsoft firewall, with
no success. I also tried the Symantec automatic restore function with
no success. This has been working find, with no known changes to the
system in the last month, since the last time I was able to download
the virus definitions.
