How do I schedule Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.x.x for Windows 2000/XP to run LiveUpdate automatically to download new virus definitions?


Important:
  • ITSU highly recommends that you install the latest version of Symantec (Norton) AntiVirus. A Symantec AntiVirus download is available at no charge for current Virginia Tech students, faculty, staff, and retirees only from the Symantec AntiVirus Downloads page (http://antivirus.vt.edu/download/).
  • In order to run LiveUpdate, you must log on with an account with computer administrator privileges or power user privileges.

To schedule LiveUpdate to run automatically:

  1. Start Symantec AntiVirus.
  2. From the File menu, select Schedule Updates.
  3. Place a check in the Enable Scheduled Automatic Updates check box.
  4. Click the Schedule button.
  5. Select the Daily option.
  6. From the At drop-down list, select a time of day when your computer would typically be running.
  7. Click OK.
  8. In the Schedule Virus Definition Updates window, click OK.
  9. Click the Exit button.
