Title: Norton Virus Update
Post by: Anonymous on March 13, 2003, 03:35:05 PM
I have Norton AntiVirus 2002.  Once the subscription expires that anoying reminder comes up.  Your only option is to get a reminder everyday for the next 3 months or whatever.  Then you can choose to be reminded everyday or once every 15 days.  That is still to much reminding!!......Does anyone else have this problem????

How can I get this to turn off!!!!..........Modify the program?.....Registry Hack?......HOW???/

Please help

Just normal reinstalling NAV wont help. U need to delete one file from your HDD after uninstalling the NAV (Sorry cant remember which one). Than reinstall the NAV. Than it will work.

If you don’t want to pay for the yearly subscription (around 10 bucks a year) and you don’t want to buy a newer version, then you either have to live with it or uninstall Norton. There is a free anti-virus program out there called AVG.
Go here and check it out:

It might be what you’re looking for.

Ok...ok...ok

Reinstalling is not an option.  The app works just fine
Living with it is not an option.  The little window is a pain in the a$$.
Buying a new subscription is not an option.  I can still download my virus updates without upgrading, reinstalling, etc, etc...

I take it from these responses so far that no one knows how to get rid of the subscription update window??...............

Find and delete this file -->  Catalog.LiveSubscribe
Reinstall NAV 2K / 2K1 / 2K2 (might work for 2K3 too)

Won't reinstalling add that file back??.....

{I would also rather not reinstall.....}
Title: Norton Virus Update
Post by: Kris on April 21, 2003, 01:31:58 PM
Yes, reinstalling adds that file back but with a newer signature and thus you get one more year of free updates. If you don't want to reinstall, you can get the file from someone else and overwrite it.

Could I modify this file myself to make it \"newer\"??......

Reason I don't want to reinstall is because it is on several computers (at work and home) and the $$ people are too greedy to upgrade all the computers.  So, I'm trying to get rid of the reminder instead.

So, are you all telling me that no body knows how to get rid of this stupid window?  

I know I could buy it.....
I know I could resinstall it.....
I know I could pay the subscriptions.....etc..

but why would I do that when you can still get all the updates??.....the only problem I have is the window that pops up...

Somebody must know how to get rid of it....(other than the above things \"i know\" of)

1st...i'm not on AOL
2nd...i do read computer books
3rd...i'm not lazy...I work full time...go to school part time and i was even working a second job part time till a few weeks ago.

For you to even take the time to make such remarks without even giving thoughts to my question, you Space Between must have lots of \"space between\" your ears.......

I'm just trying to find out something that I do not know how to do....and it seems that no one else knows how to do it either.....so I guess I am on my own......

/ph34r.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':ph34r:\' />  I agree with your comments about Space Between. One solution to the problem would be to copy the catalog.livesubscribe file from a PC that's subscription has not expired, and overwrite the catalog.livesubscribe on your pc.

Title: Norton Virus Update
Post by: Matt N. on June 04, 2003, 09:10:53 PM
Change the date on your computer to one before the subscription expires.  I reset the year to 1997 so the day \"Wednesday, Thursday, etc.\" is still correct.

In all the time you've been trying to find out how to stop this message appearing, you could have re-installed it or purchased a newer version.

There are only 2 reasons i can think of for not wanting to re-install it

1) You can't be bothered downloading the updates again
2) You don't have the a copy of NAV.

Haven't you heard of the Symantec 60 day money back guarantee? All you have to do is purchase the originals from any software supplier, and as long as you contact Symantec within 60 days asking for a refund (and keep your receipt) you'll be able to claim your money back. Simple!!!

I understand you want to know how to get rid of the message and there HAS to be a way, but for now why not settle on the quick fix.

Just an idea...

\"mcsetech:  I agree with your comments about Space Between. \"

your just as lame. for someone like yourself to be in the industry is disappointing.

obviously you are ONLY a mcse if even that.  hopefully you choke on your own
actions and help someone strip you of a job.

i hope both of you realize to find someting for free is and should be a
appreciative thing...not a everyday \"its what i expect\" sort of thing.

be grateful for you what you have, dont dirty it up with your everly growing
sensation of \"it's all free\".

its a shame both of you have not realized this by now. (must be young??? or naive)

There is a simple way....it is the way I posted above.  Go to the taskbar and right-click, and click \"Adjust Date/Time\".  Set the year back to 1997 so you can still have it be on the correct day of the week.  You now have 6 years of subscription service left.  I did it, it worked great, and I can continue to dl the updates.
Best of luck,
Matt

Here is a few things...

    1) How much is your time worth to you? If you had 2 jobs you should have enough cash to go out and renew it ($10.00).
   
    2) You can buy an OEM ver of 2003 for about 10-15 bucks

    3) Think of it as your paying yourself, you get one virus and you have to reload the system and it took you over 3 hours.... was that worth more than $10.00?!?!


Go to some search sites like google or yahoo and search for a pirated version of Norton 2003 and hope that it doesn't have a virus attached to it. /blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' />

Don't get me wrong... I do not like paying for all software but, I do not mind paying if it is worth the money. Like an anti-virus software that works.... it's well worth the money if I do not get a virus and have to reload Windows. However, I do not agree if it is over priced (i.e- Microsoft)!!! /unsure.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':unsure:\' />

I assume that this will be of no help anymore, as I'm responding to a thread that was posted a number of months ago, but here's the answer.

You say you don't want to reinstall it on several computers, but to fix the problem you will need to reinstall in on ONE computer, as follows:

1. Uninstall NAV2003 (or lower)
2. Search for and delete Catalog.LiveSubscribe (you may need to show hidden files and folders)
3. Reinstall NAV
4. Search for the new version of Catalog.LiveSubscribe (the one put on with the reinstall)
5. Copy it to a disk (or network folder).
6. Go to the other systems containing NAV and find the location of Catalog.LiveSubscribe on each one
7. On each system, replace the old Catalog.LiveSubscribe with the new one you just acquired from reinstalling NAV on ONE system.

Your LiveUpdate subscription will be moved forward.  Problem solved.

However, the problem you described also MIGHT be due to the following setting, which has nothing to do with Catalog.LiveSubscribe.  That annoying reminder to update can be disabled as follows:

1. Open NAV
2. Click the Options button at the top
3. Go down to Miscellaneous on the bottom-left
4. UNCHECK "Alert me on start-up, if my virus protection is out of date."

I hope this helps somebody.

Title: Norton Virus Update
Post by: Max Normal on February 25, 2004, 04:05:19 PM
Get a copy of "datehack".  Run it, select "change date", update NAV, select "restore date".

I agree that you should not expect something for nothing, but finding hacks and cracks is part of the fun of the web.  If I don't find it, I buy it or don't get it, I don't whinge on about it.

However, if you but a copy of say, Half-Life, It does not expire or stop you from patching it after a set time.  Think about how much more work goes into this game which costs roughly the same as NAV.

Norton are just protecting themseleves from redundancy - not protecting you.  I paid for the software and I want it to be useful for ever if I can get it.

No regrets. /mad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':angry:\' />

Damm, Dude, just go get AVG at http://grisoft.com (http://\"http://grisoft.com\") . You can have free antivirus with free updates. This is the one that I use and it's actually better than Symantec. I couldn't say if it's better than McAfee cause I haven't touched that one in years. We're talking about a 5MB download for free AV protection. Your problem could have already been solved by now if you actually listen to the advice given here.
