Program Updates

I noted from this community forum that a new version of Norton 360 was available that my program did not make me aware of.  However, I would think that a virus/spyware scanner would have some automated update facility to keep it current.  Am I missing something?  Is there some setting in Norton 360 to activate automated updates or at least notification of the availability of program updates??

Re: Program Updates

By default you should have Automatic Download of New Version enabled.  To find this setting click Settings > Administrator Settings.  It is the third option down.

 

If you use Norton Identity Safe please export a copy to somewhere you can find it if you need it  -  like a USB Flash Drive.

 

You can manually check for new versions by clicking Support > Check for New Version.  Remember to run Live Update,  restarting where required,  until no more updates are available.

 

Cheers,

Dave
