I have Norton internet security 2006 loaded onto my laptop a security centre message tells me the automatic update facility is switched off which is shown also as off on the Window security alert toolbar icon. When I have gone to control panel and checked the automatic settings it is switched to ON, I cannot get the message or the icon to correct itself.
This may be an Error with N.P.C. or Windows, or it may be the work of an Internet Threat. How is your computer running? Have you noticed things that are not normal happening?
I would suggest you Upgrade to N.I.S. 2008; N.I.S. 2009 will be Released very soon.
If I remember correctly there are settings for LiveUpdate in two places -- in the Control Panel area of Windows where LiveUpdate which is a freestanding utility and inside Norton Internet Security itself. Just to avoid misunderstandings later, NIS2009 has LiveUpdate integrated and only for itself; it does not use the free-standing LiveUpdate module, but any other older applications, even GHOST etc, will continue to use it at least for the time being, so do not remove LiveUpdate in Control Panel if you have other Norton applications installed.
I don't remember how NIS2006 was organized but if I'm right, look under Norton Internet Security / Settings / LiveUpdate
Take into account that terminology may have been different then but look around.
It could be a good idea to upgrade now to NIS2008 -- especially if you see a good price in the stores with discounts and upgrade rebates etc -- since the subscription for NIS2008 and it's KEY are useable in the new NIS2009 which is due on the market any day now and the protection from NIS2008 will be better than from NIS2006.
It is very much quicker and has less of an impact on the system than any previous generation, PLUS of course it has the most recent engines to protect you.
PS -- You haven't said what version of Windows you are using -- just make sure that if you do upgrade to NIS2008/2009 that it still supports your version of Windows -- I'm not sure how far back they go in Windows versions.

Jeffh65,
You show in your initial message that the security center message says automatic update is switched off. My question is just to clarify. Do you mean Windows Updates or do you mean Norton LiveUpdate?

Hi jeffh65,
I would suggest taking advantage of the free upgrade to NIS 2008 located here.
Any subscription days which are still listed on 2006 will be transferred to 2008. As a precaution, write down your 2006 activation key or create a Norton Account here which will store your info.
If you use the antispam component in 2006, you can try to save those settings by using the Norton Migration Tool before installing the upgrade. However, I'm not sure this tool works with 2006, but it's worth a shot.
