    Hi again,

    I have another question that I am hoping that someone on the list might
    be able to answer. A couple of months ago, I had to reformat the drive on
    my kid's Aptiva. When I reinstalled the system, I also reinstalled other
    programs like Norton AntiVirus. Everything was a fresh install. As far as
    I understand, the Live Update feature is supposed to last for a year.
    Every time I use the feature, the response I receive is that there are no
    new updates. This has been going on for about three months now and I am
    concerned about getting the latest virus definitions. Is there some
    limitation on Live Update that doesn't allow me to download new
    definitions after a certain date... even with a fresh install? If so, it
    would have been better if I was told to upgrade. If not, what is the
    catch? Can I get new virus definitions through ftp that I can't get with
    Live Update? Doesn't Symantec update virus defs every month for Win like
    they do for Mac? It would be odd if they didn't as there are so many more
    viruses on the PC side.

    Cheers,

    Brian
