279706 2004-10-10 00:54:00 I run Win 98SE. I get the following message when I attempt to download NAV updates.
"LU 1841: Connection to ISP failed. Live Update could not contact your ISP. Verify your dial-up info is correct."
My ISP is ihug who says I should contact Norton, which is easier said than done. They no longer have a phone service For NAV 2002 and the
options provided in their website are too large to work through. All other connections to the internet work perfectly.
Has anyone else had this problem?

279707 2004-10-10 01:22:00 Try downloading manually the latest updates, and then running NAV to make sure you don't have any nasties which are interferring with NAV's settings. You can find instructions here for using the Intelligent Updater instead of the Live Updater, including a link to your applicable definition updates.
How to update virus definition files using the Intelligent Updater (service1.symantec.com)

If for some reason the above link does not work for you, go to the main page here (securityresponse.symantec.com) and follow the links for Intelligent Updater.

279708 2004-10-10 07:07:00 Hi Roly & Jen,
I am still having trouble with that damn Symantec Redirector, the 1633.6KB one. I can get the live updates so hopefully the Redirector one isn't important or is it?
Norton's is always telling me that I don't have the latest updates because of the Redirector problem. Have even gone & done what is says for LU1806.
We have uninstalled & reinstalled Systemworks 2002 but still no go.
I don't remember the Redirector ever being part of Live Update previously or if it was it was not an issue then.
I can put up with unticking the Redirector file but would like reassurance that the updates I get are OK on their own.
Win ME, Norton Systemworks 2002.
Pauline.

279710 2004-10-10 11:22:00 Today for those that may be interested I removed Norton Anti Virus 2002 from two PC's one 98 other ME and both low specked and replaced with AVG. They were both considerably faster after. mikebartnz (21)
279711 2004-10-11 00:10:00 Pauline; I had the same problem which I fixed by going to Windows Update and downloading "Roots Certificate Update". This is not on the critical list but further down on the page. The trouble you are having is that there are too many letters in the NAV down load to be recognized by the computer....I think. Also several NAV updates are almost the same size and have the same named, so don't be fooled as I was into thinking they are the same. Take a note of the size each time.

Avg is another virus protector and its free.
