I've had Norton Internet Security '09 for almost 4 years, with annual renewals and no major problems for most of that time. Suddenly I'm faced with an update of 210 MB -- an unprecedented size. (They're usually not much more than 2 MB or so.) Can this be correct, and any idea what's going on? I'm on dialup; a download of this size would take about a week to complete. In practice it disconnects after a while, or the laptop (w/ Vista Home Premium) gets too hot and shuts down.
I tried submitting the basic question on the Norton help form but got a list of irrelevant topics in reply.
BTW, another odd thing I noticed is that it says my last definition update was 2 days ago -- about when this thing started. (Though that could be because I've been turning on Silent Mode a lot lately, in order to be able to use the laptop at all...?)
