Solve Antivirus Problem - Norton Corporate Ed 7.6 on Win 98

  • Thread starter z4955
  • Start date
In summary, the speaker installed Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition 7.6 on Windows 98 and encountered difficulties with getting updates. They noticed that the program automatically runs updates on one computer but not the other, and they usually manually download updates before scanning. They suggest disabling the Auto Update feature and restarting the computer to see if that helps.

I just installed Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition 7.6 on win 98, but when I go to get the updates, it says it's already running. Can anybody help me with this problem? Why is it already running when I haven't done anything yet... and it won't get the updates. It scans ok, but no updates. Help!

When it scans, it tells you the date of the virus defintions.

why would norton antivirus automatically run updates in one computer and not the other? I have always opened norton and clicked on get updates and downloaded them before scanning. the other computer says it is already running live update and it never stops running.
