NAV 2001: LU changed behavior

Pepitito · Cadet Joined: Sep 05, 2003 Posts: 6 Location: Uruguay

Since I installed NAV 2001 (3 years ago), my setting in Live Update options has been:
"Notify me when updates are available"
It always worked as expected, but a few weeks ago LU began to update automatically.
The setting keeps unchanged but updating proceeds without warning.

Searching in the Symantec knowledge base I found at

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/na...vy=&csm=no

a description similar to my problem (but speaking of NAV 2003).

Anyway, I applied the solution advised there.

But, unfortunatelly, the problem was not solved.

Info: Windows 98 SE+IE6

Any ideas? Question

Hello Peter,

A little trick that works for straightening out LU is to delete the BinHub folder directory from c:\program files\common files\symantec shared\virusdefs (or whichever drive you may be using for NAV.)

I know this works for versions 2002 through 2004, so please give it a try and let us know.

Thanks for your input!
I proceeded as you advised.
In a few hours, Norton Scheduler will check update status and we will know the result of deleting Binhub in NAV 2001.
I will keep you informed!
Shocked

Follow up:

May be I was wrong about Norton Scheduler because a few minutes after posting my reply, LU connected to a Norton server and -without any warning- began downloading something.
I checked my firewall info: the download was almost 5 Mb big.
Going to Windows Explorer, I found out that the Binhub folder was rebuilt.
Size of this folder is 9.04 Mb, exactly the same as the original one, that I have deleted.

After next virus def update I will inform if behavior has changed.

LU keeps doing things the way it wants!
Virus definitions -dated March 28- were updated automatically.

I'm still stuck with the same problem.
LU continues updating automatically!

Any new ideas?

phoenix 22,

Thanks for your advises! Very Happy

I have not decided to go to NAV2k2, since I am still using Win98 SE, but your experience makes me confident. I'll try to get it.
Meanwhile, I like and will study your approach on disabling LU and updating manually. I was not aware of that possibility.

Thanks again and best regards.

Peter
