Is it only for beta testers? It still has not come through the internal updater for me.

I’m in UK and never seem to get any of the updates really quick that are announced 
I seen the sticky. I did not know it was going to be days before a actual release. Nice to let us know. At the same time. The announcement seems to soon and nothing.
nope: still on 20.20.19

Same here in Italy.
If you really want 20.2.1.22, you can email me (address is on my profile). Just let me know if you want NIS, NAV, N360 Standard, or N360 Premier. You'll be downloading the full version, but it's the 20.2.1.22 version. This info is also in the announcement under "3. How can I manually install these patches?" Thanks.
I am located in the Mississippi (USA) and I contacted Tony Weiss per the announcement, obtained the patch per paragraph 3 of the announcement, installed it and am runing on 20.2.1.22. Be aware it is not your typical update via LiveUpdate - be sure to run LiveUpdate after insatlling it - I had somthing like 11 updates totaling 106 mb. Be sure to reboot when requested.
I had the problem with teh Online vault hesitating between steps when selecting and loadinglog-ins - which it cleared up.
I also have reported to Norton a situation I have run into whre I can find (or it doesn't exsist) the Enable/Disable SHARE on the Norton Toolbar.
Anyone else find it?
In the toolbar, Norton dropdown menu > Disable Norton Safe Share
Thanks Tony,
Now the KB for Norton Security Online is misleading - unless the online version is that much different than NIS version.

Hi yank,
Could you explain how it's misleading? It sounds very similar to what I've posted, but I want to be sure all our documents are clear. Thanks.

I was not prompted after those 11 updates downloaded and installed. I am on Windows 8 64 bit. Even after that was done. I made sure it detected no more updates. I went ahead and done a reboot any ways. Checked for updates again and everything was good to go. I had no issues with this update. I would have waited on the patch through the internal updater. But, being on Windows 8. I know Symantec made positive and optimal changes for Windows 8. So, I went ahead and installed it early.

My bad - after going back and reading it for about the 4th time, I see that I misread it - must be getting old.
I saw the yellow highlighted Vault Open Menu and zeroed in on that - never bothering to read the information the red arrow is pointing to. I gues it is clear to anyone who reads it all, rather than passing over it like I did - I guess that's what I get for being brain washed into reading the small print!

I'm sorry for the confusion over the reboot. I was referring to a reboot that was requested as part of the update when I did it.
FWIW, I have also received info that the 11 updates will not all be required when the patch comes down thru normal LiveUpdate channels. There may be a few, but not as many.
Bottom line - I'm glad you got downloaded and installed.
If it's 20.2.19 I'd suggest holding off, My system was at least 30% faster before the update. Now I'm noticing a lag on anything I do. I sure hope norton fixes this with the next patch or I'm going another route

Does this mean its some kind of beta patch if we installed manually? I sure hope not!
I requested the patch and was sent a link. No problems, though I was not having any problems with the previousl build.

No it is not a beta, after all the updates have been applied. it is just like the patch that will come down through LiveUpdate when it is released, but without as many updates.
The reason for all the udates was because you are essentially installing a new product and then getting all the defs and other stuff that have been released since the patch was created. Hope that clears things up!
It is like a woking copy that Norton QA has provided for Tony to send to us that re
Come to think of it. I did notice it going through the motions like a complete new install. It even reactivated on both my machines. People waiting for the patch. That will not happen to them correct? Thanks for clearing it up. On a side note. The full system scan speed has increased big time. Extremely fast now.

Correct - it will act just like a normal LIveUpdate.
