This download will address some current problems and add the following features:

support for Windows Vista

Logging & Diagnostics Enhancements

Improvements in Product Integration Support

Improvements in Network Bandwidth Utilization

Enhanced update selection. The LiveUpdate client is now better able to determine which updates it needs to download. The LiveUpdate catalog file of available updates can now contain more details about the intended target for each update and only download an update if it meets the target criteria. For example, an update may only be required if a user is running on a specific Service Pack of an operating system, or if they have a particular version of a component installed on their machine. This evaluation is performed by the LiveUpdate client and no information is ever sent to Symantec.

Support for Intel Active Management Technology

Enhanced Error Support. Most LiveUpdate error messages now include links to more comprehensive error details and resolutions. The Enhanced Error Support web site links can be accessed by clicking on the area around the 'Click here for more information' text on error dialogs and messages.

Uninstall support and cleanup. Some Symantec products may now remove LiveUpdate from your machine if LiveUpdate determines that no other Symantec products remain on the machine. In addition, when LiveUpdate is uninstalled it will also remove any old log files and old configuration files from the machine.

'No Proxy' option. An option has been added to tell LiveUpdate not to use a Proxy server when retrieving updates via FTP and HTTP.

'Do not manage my Dial-up Networking connections' option. This option should be used if you do not want LiveUpdate to manage your Dial-up Networking connection to the Internet. Note that when you select this option, LiveUpdate will not automatically close any Dial-up Networking connections that it may have created to connect to the Internet.
