Need Norton Update
|
|
| Barry Watzman 2005-04-06, 2:25 pm |
| Symantec has removed the downloadable updates of Norton Systemworks Pro
2003 from their web and FTP sites (the only "support" the current
version and the immediately previous version, which is now 2005 and 2004).
Does anyone have this patch file?
Note, I am not talking about anti-virus updates, I'm talking about the
updates to the Norton Systemworks program itself. Anti-Virus updates
are still available (the downloadable AV updates support all of their
products from about 2000 onward).
Interesingly, "live update" still works and updates NSW 2003, at least
for the moment, but I need the downloadable file containing the program
updates for some systems that are not able to use live update.

Symantech did this because they want to make money and are no longer
supporting the 2003 version. Try finding an inexpensive 2004 or 2005
version on Ebay.

| This isn't a question of working or not working, or of finding a copy of
2004 or 2005. I have a dozen copies of Norton 2004 & 2005, I buy them
when they are "free after rebates", which is often.
BUT, I have a situation in which I need the downloaded file updater for
Norton SystemWorks 2003. Again, not the Anti-Virus update, but the
actual program update. It was on the Symantec web site until recently,
until 2005 came out, then they took it down. I understand fully why
they took it down, but that's not the point.
The point is, does anyone have, or know where I can download, the
SystemWorks [pro] 2003 update file?
[And yes, I know that, as of right now, if you install it, you can
update it with "Live Update" ***IF*** the machine in question has an
internet connection.]
