Norton Antivirus Update

Mar 8, 2004 4:34AM PST

Just saw on Norton web site that there was an update for 3-8-04 of 66099 definitions but when I try to update it says I am up to date. Wanted to know if anyone else was having problems because this has happened before when they did not have things ready yet. Hope I do not have a problem. I am using Norton Antivirus 2004 with Windows XP. Athlon 1.6 MHZ 512 Ram

Tried it again and got an error that had something about LU1806. There was a link for an Norton site to explain the error and it gave a lot of possible causes one being that it was a transmission error and to try again. So I did and it worked. I guess they are just having problems today. Thanks Sly

Just was reading your post here and went to Norton to check for myself and "yes" I got two updates to virus definitions.
