Run LiveUpdate

LiveUpdate keeps your Norton protection up to date and helps safeguard your device from evolving cybersecurity threats.

By default, your Norton product downloads and installs the latest definition and program updates regularly from Norton servers to help protect your computer from new threats. If you have been offline or turned off Automatic LiveUpdate, you can run LiveUpdate at any time.

Some program updates may require that you restart your computer after you install them.

Select your operating system to find the instructions to run LiveUpdate.
