may be it will the issue with the conflict of windows updates with the norton.. so whats my suggeation is just go ahead and install the latest version of norton antivirus2009,first you have to uninstall the 2008 version from the add/remove programs and install the 2009 version
www.norton.com/nav09 is the link surely it will fix and you have to activate the 2009 product using the 2008 key

go to norton security center ( you can double clik at norton side taskbar at your desktop) clik on setting and arrange this to what you want. if it still happen ...uninstall this program using start menu---control panel--add/remove program---norton uninstall
then you mustrestart your pc/notebook then try to reinstall norton using your norton cd...good luck..

Which antivirus you use currently? Is the antivirus contains anti-phishing? I would like to recommend you to use Kaspersky AntiVirus 2009, which it contains 'Anti-Phishing'.

Take a look also to these web sites:

If you downloaded the trial version then you need to buy paid version of symantec antivirus.

please see to it that the product is genuine
When live update fails, it is most likely due one of the following reasons:
· No license file (*.slf) is installed
· The installed license file (*.slf) has expired
· The trial period has expired
· The installed license file (*.slf) has been deleted, or become damaged or corrupted
· The software is not able to able to communicate with the Symantec servers

No license file (*.slf) is installed
It is necessary to have a valid license file installed into the program to authorize it for the download of the content updates using Live Update.
It is necessary to register your license(s) at the Licensing Portal (https://licensing.symantec.com/) to generate the license file if it was not included with your license certificate (*.pdf).

The license file (*.slf) has expired
It is required to have a current support contract to be authorized to have the most current content updates downloaded. If you have renewed your support contract, it is necessary to register your license(s) at the Licensing Portal (https://licensing.symantec.com/) to generate the new license file if it was not included with your license certificate (*.pdf).
This could also be the case if you have a current support contract, but had a trial license key installed in the software. It is necessary to register the support contract renewal to generate the new license file.
The trial period has expired

Many of Symantec's products offer a limited-time trial period where you can test the software in your environment. When the trial period expires, the software will typically cease to function as part of the Trialware installation agreement.

The installed license file (*.slf) has been deleted, is damaged or corrupted
If the license file that was installed in the program has been deleted or is corrupted, it is necessary to reinstall the license.
You can re-download the license file from the Licensing Portal account the license was registered in. If you registered the license into your Licensing Portal account, you can log into your account and re-download the license file. If the license was registered into the account of another person, you would need to contact that person to have them re-download a copy of the license file or provide you access to re-download the license file from their account.

The software is unable to communicate with the Symantec servers
The Symantec software must be able to establish a connection to the servers to be able to download the current content updates. If the software is unable to establish the server connection, then it will not be able to download the content updates.
You would need to check your network security settings to ensure the network traffic is not being blocked. If you believe your network's security settings might be blocking the Symantec software from communicating to the Live Update servers, contact Symantec Technical Support for assistance. You can find the phone number for your region here: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/contact_techsupp_static.jsp
One example of this occurring is when trying to install a license file into Symantec Mail Security 4.6 or later you get the following error message: "Symantec Premium AntiSpam registration failed. The product will not receive definition updates".
Here is a link to a technical support document with more information on this issue and possible resolutions: http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-gate.nsf/854fa02b4f5013678825731a007d06af/e0395129f0bedbf4882570d2006ad1af?OpenDocument

Hi, Sorry about that. We do not support Norton 2008 anymore, are you sure you have the older version installed with the active subscription? Praveen Norton Support.

Hi! The best antivirus that won't slow down your computer is NOD32 2.7. You can download it in torrents sites. Also free up your startup memory using HIJACKTHIS I'm sure this make your computer clean from viruses. GOOD LUCK

thanks.

For 99.9% of the people it works. What specifically is the error you are getting? You might be better talking to the Norton people if you paid money for their software. I prefer MalwareBytes Premimum especially on a older system.

Did you buy Norton Anti-Virus? If not then someone may have used your account to pay for Norton. I would talk to your bank about getting the funds back. I really do hope you're able to get this problem resolved with your bank, though no one here can really do anything.

You will need to get in touch with Symantec or with the company where you placed your order. Fixya does not charge for any services. Hope that helps!

Try restoring the laptop to an earlier date (if you have saved some restore points). That might do the trick. If that doesn't work, try to reinstall or update the relevant drivers.

Go to the Symantec website and follw the instructions there:
