Dear Norton Community,
We are glad to announce that we have completed testing our latest inline releases of Norton 360 v4 and we are ready to release the patches.
To receive the update, simply run LiveUpdate and download the update. A reboot will be required once the update is applied.
To verify you have the update, launch the Main User Interface, click on Help & Support, and select About. The version number of the new release for Norton 360 will be 4.1.0.32.
The FAQ below tries to answer some common questions:
1. What is the version number for this patch?
The version number is 4.1.0.32
Please note that all Norton 360 4.0 customers with a valid subscription will receive this update for free.
2. When will I receive the patch?
As a standard practice, we will be deploying the patch in a phased manner. On Wednesday, March 31th, we will be releasing the patch to some randomly selected customers. We will then monitor our telemetry, as well as this forum, for any problem reports or issues.
Once we have confirmed the effectiveness of the patch we will make it available to all customers. We will post an update on the Norton Community Forums when we make the patch available to all customers.
3. How can I manually install these patches?
Norton 360 4.1 is currently available only through LiveUpdate to users of the 2010 products. Visit the Norton Update Center to see if you're eligible for a free update to the 2010 products.
We are in the process of posting the full 4.1 installers. We will update this post when this is complete.
