[Resolved] Live Update running every 10 mins

egglesworth · 05-25-2007

My live update runs every 10 mins and it is really slowing my pc down. How do I get it so it still runs liveupdate automatically just not so often?? (Norton Internet Security 2007)

Click on Control Panel > Automatic Updates
This is where you set the date and time.

Suggest you turn it off
Reboot
Check if it is still running on the 10 minute cycle
If not, turn it back on and monitor

Good Luck

Hi wa, I think he means the Norton Internet Security liveupdate, not windows.

I don't think Norton Internet Security allows scheduling [I could be wrong, I haven't used it in a while] Go to Options > Live Update and see, if not just disable LiveUpdate BUT make sure you run liveupdate AT LEAST once a week to make sure your virus definitions are up to date.

Hope this helps.
