Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

Do all Norton users from all over the world connect to the same live update server location? Or are there various server locations to cater to different regions of the world?

I'm from Malaysia, and has been experiencing pulse update problems with Vista(posted in this community before).  Just about more than an hour ago, I've got a rare occasion whereby both my Vista and XP PCs didn't receive a PU or no LU required for about 30mins each, happening at the same time.  Programs running (besides NIS09 and other essential background services) were just Explorer (browsing data), Creative sound mixer, MSN, IE (constant browsing) and Open Office.

Was that a no-update-released-for-30mins rare occasion, or was it a update server connection issue from Malaysia's gateway to a particular server location?

Based upon the other responses, it doesn't sound like your issue is location specific.

To answer the original question, though, there currently are six different servers hosted by Akamai hardware. I believe that these servers are distributed across multiple continents but I'm not certain of that.

Thanks for the info! It appears to be general, I guess...

Mahmoud, is there any particular reason to use NAV07 instead of NAV09?  Generally companies would support less of their older products when newer products are launched.  There would be a priority shift.  Take Microsoft, for example.  The well-adored Win98 is no longer being supported, then it would be WinME, Win2k... and one day WinXP eventually.
