    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.

    I am running windows Vista SP1 and for the past month, it does not install updates.

  • Code 80072EFE. Windows has encountered an unknown error when you try to install the updates.

    First of all.  I have Windows 7 ultimate.

    Recently, I had problems with malware.  I have to click on a link to google search and get sent to some site asking me to buy stuff (I have not).  I tried several different anti-virus and malware, including:

    1 McAffee (which is a joke)

    2 avast

    3. stop Zilla

    4 Malware bytes.

    1-3 have not picking up anything either.  And 4 stopped working after 10 minutes through a thorough analysis.  With a quick scan, we didn't find any malware.

    I tried safe mode and nothing.  So I restored to an earlier point when it was working fine.

    I tried to download the updates, but I get an error 80072EFE and am unable to download the updates.  I checked McAffee and all windows programs have full access, so there should be no firewall problem.  STOPzilla and Avast are no problem, due to the restoration.  I need help! Help, please!  If the cat is available, would be great.

    Thank you

    Mike-

    UH! After posting the added information in my last post, I have acted on an intuition, uninstalled, Office Live 1.5 from the Control Panel, rebooted, reinstalled and everything went well.

    So I guess there's a glitch somewhere where Windows Live Update thought I needed the upgrade while in fact I have not, and he is involved in a problem that cannot be resolved.
