Schedule LiveUpdates

By default, Symantec AntiVirus is set to run LiveUpdate daily. The default configuration schedules live update for 3:00 a.m. If you are connected via a dialup connection, you'll need to either schedule LiveUpdate to run at a time when your machine is connected, or while connected.

  1. Double-click the Symantec shield in the system tray.
  2. The Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition window appears. Select File > Schedule Updates.
  3. The Schedule Virus Definition Updates window appears. Click Schedule.
  4. The Virus Definition Update Schedule window appears. Click the Daily radio button and enter the time in the When area.
    Note: Be sure to select a time of day when your computer will be ON and connected to the Internet.
  5. Click OK to close the Update Schedule dialog box.
  6. Click OK again to save and close the Schedule Virus Definition Updates window.
