Norton updates - "Apply now" rarely works

When doing Liveupdate it regularly has an 'apply now' prompt to do a software update.

But it rarely works when clicking on 'apply now'.

After a week, or 3, it may work.

Thoughts, solutions ..... ?

PS and why do they only allow files with txt, pdf, png extensions? Very short sighted.

Although the LiveUpdates suggest that you do not need to restart your computer to apply the updates, it is advisable to do so anyway to ensure everything that is pending gets completely updated.

I have had similar issues with "apply now" so my own solution is to always do restarts and "apply updates only on reboot".
