Spyware, viruses, & security : Norton Live Update 3.0

Norton Live Update 3.0

I updated my version of Norton Live Update 4 days ago but I wish I didn't. It now removes it's self from the Scheduled Tasks folder and now resides as a service in the services folder. It's set to automatic and if you tired to set it too manual or even disable it upon restart it'll set it's self back to auto.

I waited and watched in task manager too see when it kicks in. And boy does it for just 1 minitue to check for updates it uses alot of memory. I was at 26 processes before it kicked in and it shot upto 38 loads of the same process showed up. But after a minute they went and it came back to 26 here's a tip stay with Live Update 2.6 if you can avoid 3.0.

It's worse for memory hogging trust me I've left it to auto cause I can't do anything about it. But disabled Live Update in Norton's options and I check manually every thursday. I disable the services upon booting up which is a pain but has to be done.
