Keeping current with LiveUpdate
When you should update

When you should update
Run LiveUpdate as soon as you have installed your product. Once you know
that your files are up-to-date, run LiveUpdate regularly to obtain updates.
For example, to keep your virus protection current, you should use
LiveUpdate once a week or whenever new viruses are discovered. Program
updates are released on an as-needed basis.
Request an update alert
To ensure your protection updates are current, you can request to receive
an email alert whenever there is a high-level virus outbreak or other
Internet security threat. The email alert describes the threat, provides
detection and removal instructions, and includes advice on keeping your
computer safe. You should always run LiveUpdate after you receive one of
these alerts.

If you run LiveUpdate on an internal network
If you run LiveUpdate on a computer that is connected to a network that is
behind a company firewall, your network administrator might set up an
internal LiveUpdate server on the network. LiveUpdate should find this
location automatically.
If you have trouble connecting to an internal LiveUpdate server, contact
your network administrator.
