Spending more time on my PC than on electronics these days...

One thing that's worrying me is whether I'm exposed to viruses. Any of
the experts here able to help please? No response in the Symantec
groups.

It's now several weeks since LiveUpdate downloaded anything new. Each
time I open NAV (part of SystemWorks 5.0) and manually initiate LU,
I'm told all my Symantec programs are fully up to date. I renewed my
subscription some months ago, so that can't be the problem.

LiveReg
LiveUpdate
Norton AntiVirus 2002
Norton AntiVirus Virus Definitions
Norton Ghost 2002
Norton SystemWorks 2002
Norton Utilities 2002
SARC Submission Software Updates
ScriptBlocking
Speed Disk
Symantec Common Driver: SymEvent
Symantec Redirector

Surely this cannot be so? Have the virus writers gone on indefinite
leave, or what?
