  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8 test cycle.

  NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.

• Messages to update Windows Vista 64-bit driver for Qosmio F30 Vista 32 bit

  Hello

  Today, I noticed that, update Windows Vista displays the bad update for one of the drivers of Qosmio F30.

  I have Windows Vista 32-bit, but Windows Update post a 64 bit version of the driver.

  See the screenshot [here: http://imagefilehost.googlepages.com/f30Wrongupdate.jpg]

  Any idea?

  Hmm... it's strange?  :|

  The ACPI from Toshiba x 64 compatible driver certainly means a 64-bit version!

  I put t know why Vista driver update notification indicates a 64-bit to a 32 bit OS driver, but usually the 64-bit driver should not be compatible with the 32 bit OS.

  However, the deal seems clear don t install if the pilot is not designed for your operating system.

• Update for Windows Vista problem

  I had a virus on my computer and I rebooted just my Dell Dimension 9200 from scratch with Window Vista.  Everything worked fine until I went to Windows Update and installed updates.  Now, I don't see any of my CD ROM drives listed.  When I go to Device Manager it shows CDROM drives (2 of them), but it is said that they cannot be used because the information in the registry is damaged or missing.  I tried to restore the computer to a restore point before installing the updates, I did, but the system restore no longer works.

  After wringing my hands and trying to find and install the drivers without success, I have completely reformatted (AGAIN) and reinstall Vista reinstalled the printer Dell discs (AGAIN) and he did exactly the thing again.   This machine has no new material and ran Vista successfully for about a year before the virus got it.

  On a second note, almost half of the updates do not give an error code that indicates that the computer uses a proxy server.  This is not the case.  I use a DSL line to a medem then my router / switch that I have used for years.  This computer is connected to the router / switch with an ethernet cable.  I use the router so my laptops can connect wirelessly.
