 BT Broadband and Norton Anti Virus conflict! I have just installed Broadband at home which works fine. The only problem I have is that when I try to automatically download the updated virus files from Norton the PC looks for a dial up connection and as there isn't one can't complete the transmission. Just wondered if anyone had experience of this and a work around? Thanks in advance Tony H.   |

| BT Broadband and Norton Anti Virus conflict! Go into 'Symantec Live Update' in Control Panel, and make sure that the settings under HTTP are set to 'I Want To Use My Internet Options HTTP Settings' "Tony Hodson" wrote in message ...

On most of our systems LiveUpdate is set to use the same settings as Internet Explorer. -- Hiram Hackenbacker |
