Hi,

I'm trying to install Norton Internet Security 2002 from CD onto an
ancient Gateway Solo laptop running Win98.

Yeah, yeah, I know firewalls are mostly useless these days, but NIS
does has a nice pop-up blocker I wouldn't mind having on this
machine.

The problem: When I run Live Update to try to upgrade to the latest
software and definitions, it downloads about 8 megs of stuff
successfully, but then hangs trying to install it, apparently stuck
in an infinite loop of intermittent disk writes.

Any ideas on how I can get around this?

Thanks!

Who told you that a personal packet filter is useless? Personal packet
filters are viable solutions in stopping unsolicited inbound
traffic/packets.

What you're trying to install is not a FW. A FW sits at the junction between
two networks, A FW werther it's a host based solution running on a gateway
computer or a hardware solution will have two network interfaces a network.

One interface is to protect from a network usually the Internet/WAN; the
FW is protecting from. The other interface is to protect a network the LAN;
the FW is protecting.

It's typical Norton and the Liveupdate that will go wrong, get rid of it.

I wonder if todays updates are too much for such old software!
Do Norton still support NIS2002?
Does NIS2002 expect to find Win98se?

As far as I know Norton stopped support for its 2002 software ages ago. No
doubt he got this software for a song or it had been installed on a
countless number of computers as Norton didn't have installation keys in
those days.

Actually, less than a year ago. But from what I've gleaned in the
anti-virus newsgroups, 2002 will still update itself to the latest
and greatest *if* I can get the downloads to install correctly.

Nope, I bought the CD myself directly from Symantec when I was
still using the laptop in question as my main machine. Now I'm
trying to resuscitate it as a backup machine.
