351629	2005-05-03 03:58:00	Greetings to the Pf1 Team In recent days when attempting to update Norton 2002 Anti virus all the definitions etc will down load but the “Symantec Redirector” has not been successful My Computer was purchased Nov. 99 Win 98 SE This file did not appear untill April 04 I have been unchecking the “+” against the file name and using the Comp as usual and do not to seem to be having problems or unusual happenings. So I am asking DO I REALLY NEED THIS? The collective wisdom of the team would be appreciated Grandad W :help::confused: Ps:- I have never so far had to use a “Zip File” This information is from the Symantec LiveUpdate diologue box LU1860.LiveUpdate was not able to install any of the 1 updates that you selected. For more information please check the “+” sign next to the update(s) that did not install. All available updates were selected The information below is from the “Find Files or Folders” Search File Symantec$20redirector_4.5.2._english_livetri 3kbFolder C:\Windows\All users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\Downloads ZIP File 13/05/04 10.25	grandad w (510)

I would suggest an upgrade as a good idea, 2005 if you must stick with norton, Nod32 if you’re after a superior Anti-Virus program, or AVG if you want a free alternative.	Metla (12)
