Re: What is Norton LiveConnect ? I Googled, and all I could find were references to javascript and LiveConnect, but nothing definitive. I even searched Symantec's site and found nothing. |

| digital --I did that too. Its why I'm so surprised Symantec gurus wont comment. Its odd, considering how well-regarded Symantec is. Its a program of about 3mbs, which is approx 10% of NIS's size, and no comments what it is.
No refernce, no comment - its why I'm so surprised. |

1 edit | Could you tell me what directory you found this in?
I have used NIS2007 since beta and have no references to this item that I could find.
In the Add/Remove section of the CP does it give you any info about the product ?
Where did you get the info about the size of the program?
Just very curious.
Thanks 
EDIT TO ADD Could you test your java version here:
»/stest?test=1
OR
here:
»java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
and post back what versions are detected ?

| In CP, it says Norton LiveConnect (Symantec Corporation)
Size 3.14MB
Publisher: Symantec Corporation
Version 1.1.0
When I click on Symantec Corporation it brings me to SYMC's home page.

1 edit | In older versions of Netscape LiveConnect enabled JavaScript programs to interact with Java Applets, Java-enabled Navigator plug-ins, and built-in Java system classes on the browser.
Years ago LiveConnect was what is now known as LiveUpdate

Codydog, you're famous
quote:
It downloaded and installed itself yesterday apparently from LiveUpdate," wrote a user identified as "codydog" on the DSLReports.com message forum Tuesday. "Did Symantec just force me to d/l [download] and install a marketing tool for them, that doesn't even ask if I want it? It just self-installs?"
Later the same day, codydog added "I'm going to assume that its [sic] some sort of adware Symantec is pushing out to users [and] that Symantec's policy is to install adware on users pcs/workstations without even asking for permission.

| Zoder -- Thanks ! And yeahhhh for me.
To : InformationWeek guy -- you misqouted me. I was asking for an explanation from Symantec and none was posted. Hence the second comment. You're not being fair to SYMC.
To : SYMC guy -- I know you'll read this, so, dont hide. Your comment, "...It's not adware. We're not trying to sell anyone anything...", is simply odd. Shouldnt SYMC be trying to sell software to every possible person on the planet? Isnt giving updates a marketing tool to get more long term users?
I'm going to ask that question on the next conference call. If you dont know what that means, ask your IR folks. |

| Better yet, Symantec, why not just explain what LiveConnect is and exactly what it does? |
