Norton Security Suite

Why does my Norton Symantec seem to disconnect me from the internet when i try to update it?

I'm not sure if it'ss the live update disconnecting the dial up connection or Norton Symantec itself. Any help would be appreciated.

1. AVG, Norton & McAfee are useless. AVG is free - hence why it isn't that good, it has basic protection but if you go googling a heap and go into a load of things, then you need better. Malwarebytes.org / malware bytes anti malware Is not an anti virus, it just removes spyware and malware. Norton is said to have TORN computers to it's knees and destroy them. McAfee & Norton are being tied to computers since they got into a dealership with DELL / HP And other computer brands, just because they come pre installed on a computer doesn't mean McAfee or Norton are any good. A well known and spread widely program is not better than a less known brand that is spread less widely. An example is, "Oh cool! They're all jumping off a cliff! I've gotta do that too!" = just because everyone does it, DOES NOT mean you have to do it. Just like Mcafee and norton, just because it's widely spread and everyone uses it doesn't mean you can't be different with better protection. ESET from Nod32. http://eset.com/ Download the "Anti virus & Anti spyware version 4 30day trial" And get free serial keys from. http://nod321.com/ Now, Nod32 is of course a paid program, so the serials are on that site if you want it free, how those serials are retrieved and posted daily is beyond me however. For information from AV & AS 2008 version (ver 3) there is graphs showing results of how Nod32 compares up to others. If ver 4 was to be graphed and reviewed, it'd have even stronger. Anyway, Nod32 hands down - it's a winner. http://www.eset.com/products/compare-NOD32-vs-competition.php?pm=1 However, if you want to go free. Download.com Search for Avira or Avast.

2. AVG OWNS! http://www.avg.com Get rid of Norton and BUY AVG Internet Security.
3. If you are using Norton and a dial up connection you need to make sure that Norton is correctly configured to connect for updates. Check Symantec user support or Norton help index.
