Same here so don't be to concerned. And i guess that thousands
of people along with you and me are using Live Update for years
without problems also.

My guess would be that it is just as save, as long as you do it as
regular as Live Update does it. since live update does it every 3
hours with my pc i wonder if you will ever do it that regularly.....

So why quit ? Because of the few isolated cases where it goes wrong ?
Many people have good experiences with Kaspersky and that is a
scanner wich i did not like because it slowed down my computer.
Don't ask me (or Kaspersky) why but it just did. The scanning of
e-mail was horrible.
Every scanner will have it's isolated cases of problems. Better
stay with the market leaders because they will problaby solve
their problems sooner that the small companies (because they
will notice errors more quickly most of the time)

That's what i mean. Probably some problem in some case for wich they
post a fix. My guess would be that most of the time it will do no harm
and can only do you good because some problem is fixed. Why else
would they update programs, i can not imagine they will fix something
that is not broken.
Stick with it i would say. Best scanner i have ever seen. And i know
that there are people that have problems with it. As long as it works
for me, (and probably millions of other people) i am satisfied.
There will alway's be someone that has a problem with some program.
In the case of Norton i don't think the majority has a problem. on the
contrairy.....
