NIS 2010 blocks HP support assistant update

It was blocking the update when the program was trying to update on it’s own. So then I went to HP website and downloaded the update file to my computer and tried to install update that way and it was still blocked with a Sonar warning that it was blocked and removed.

Any ideas on how to add these updates so they can be done without turning off my protection. I had no problems installing the other updates HP has provided.

Version: 4.2.8.3

Thanks, I will do both of the items you recommended.

Please post back with the results - thanks :slight_smile:

I submitted the false positive to Symantec and when they update me on their findings I will post the results here.

I then unplugged internet and turned off Symantec and ran the update with no problem.

 

I’m glad you were able to install the HP update - thanks for posting back with the good news :slight_smile:
