I successfully download it, I don't see how the firewall can be interfering.

I've ran into that problem before. It's on Symantec's side. Give it a half-hour or so and then try it again

I fail to understand what the confusion is here. I can download the update, there are no connection problems of any sort. It "fails to install" the update.

Now it's saying I'm up to date. WTF? I haven't yet successfully updated them. GRrrr.. I hope they actually are up to date.

Oh well.

I can update the virus defs, but not the program or the liveupdate, cause I don't use internet exploder.
