Live Update runs each time you boot and log in

Hi Nick or John from Symantec

 

Is there any ETA for fixing this issue? It's really annoying - I seem to be downloading pattern file updates on a daily basis now! They take ages to download on my flakey broadband connection. I'd really like to be able to stop this 'Live Update runs at every restart' issue and revert back to my weekly scheduled update.

 

Thanks,

Hi Stuart,

 

We released Scheduler 5.1.1 to fix this problem. If you haven't done so already, run LiveUpdate to get the update.

 

Thanks for hanging in there with us!

This problem is, indeed, resolved.

 

For NAV 11 users, Live Update no longer runs (not even silently in the background) just because you boot up and log in.

 

Scheduled runs of Live Update correctly run as scheduled.

 

Both of the above confirmed on my computer.

Thanks Corey. I had been cancelling the Live Update each time I booted my Mac so I didn't notice that there was a new version available! I have now updated and it appears to have fixed the problem (and also reverted the NAV locking behaviour as an added bonus!)

 

Thanks again,

 

Stuart
