Hi Greg,

Get the "LiveUpdate Administration Utility" from Symantec. We use it to
periodically download updates of the Symantec programs we use (mostly nav),
and to place them on a network share from which LiveUpdate on the desktops
pull there updates.

The only thing still missing is a way to automagically get it to run by
itself, since it requires a few clicks...

Grtz, Rich
