Thread: LU1814 error on many symantec anti virus clients

Why it's going on is because Symantec software has too many
faults and deficiencies to list. They don't care about support.
The only better solution is alternate vendor's products.

Symantec's solution is the check internet settings. I've done this. Any
other ideas?

when the automatic update engine gets corrupt 'for some reason' this seems
the only avenue. after uninstall of the software (server situation? then
only needs to be done there) use the cleaner tool on the symantec website
before re-install

Last time I messed around with it, Live Update did not update itself.
You had to go to Symantec's site and download the latest version of
Live update. Then after you updated Live Update, Live Update would
update the rest of the Symantec software. Haven't been to Symantec's
site in a long time - so not sure if static updates are even still
available.

Why aren't you hammering Symantec about this. It is their problem, and
yours. You are a pair. Work it out.

I say, **Dump Symantec* anything.

Is there a certificate error like in early January 2004? That wrecked
everybody's NAV for weeks. Wait until some time passes before doing anything
drastic. Answers may arrive in time.

try and change your synmatec security software. it is like in early January 2004. happened to me. i now use KIS 7. no errors for now but i don't know in the future.

Yes I agree too that you need to change that antivirus, here you have a list of good choices about what to use on your computer: Best Antivirus - reviews and download As you can see all of them are top rated security software.
