See “Enabling LiveUpdate for clients” on page 92.
A client computer receives the content updates from LiveUpdate in the following
situations:
■ LiveUpdate scheduling is enabled for the client computer.
■ The client computer's virus definitions are old. The client computer is unable
to communicate with Symantec Protection Center.
■ The client computer has repeatedly failed to communicate with Symantec
Protection Center.
A portable computer might be unable to communicate with the server because
it is disconnected from the network.
The computer does not receive the content updates from LiveUpdate when the
virus definitions are current and the computer can communicate with Symantec
Protection Center.
