I've just bought my son a new win8 pc. I've installed Norton IS, and it would appear to be up and running apart from an irritating warning from windows that it isn't switched on, ditto the firewall. I believe many others have experienced this and are waiting for Microsoft to address the issue.
But there is another problem. When I run live update I'm prompted by Norton to apply 'a patch'. I follow the instructions to be told, eventually that it has installed successfully, only to find that the same prompt to apply it occurs when I next boot the machine up.
Is this all part of the same problem? The windows alert disappears briefly during the application of the patch only to reappear again a little later.
A solution or even reassurance would be hugely appreciated.
