51974 2002-06-01 11:36:00 If I uninstall a Symantec product, and then later decide to reinstall it (this happens more often than you think for reasons I won't go into) I have to download all the updates an virus defs again.

I have sussed the virus defs, and the live update updates, but can I manually download the other updates off the site. I refer specifically to the symantec redirector update, NAV 2002 update and Ghost 2002 update. I have looked in the updates section of the site, and updates for these products are not available. Only ones for previous versions of the product.

Anyone know what I am missing.

I think you'll find that you cannot download program updates like that from Symantec, as these are only available to people with subscriptions, and so only available through liveupdate. When the Norton software is installed, you get (usually) a year free subscription, and so these updates come automatically, but they don't make the software updates available for manual download, as its only available through subscription.

Yeah, I know it'd be easier, but this way they don't have people updating all the time when they don't have a subscription.

Mike.

Makes sense I guess.
