I have windows XP, SP2. I keep up with my anti-virus programs. I have Norton Anti-Virus scan , furnished by Yahoo. Its tells me updates are avaible. I update the program, it comes thru, and when it tries to download to my computer,it goes on for over a half hour,and never does finish. I have turned off my pop-up blockers, turned off my firewall. Why won't it down-load?

It sounds like Norton may be blocking the Yahoo site. Ironic, isn't it?
Try going to Symantec's site and download the update as a separate file.

If you're using a dial-up connection you'll find this kind of thing happens with large files. You'll need broadband.

its not your computer, its your connection. you need DSL or broadband to down load it or it will take to long
