ZoneAlarm to

| version 2.6.14.0 (8/18/05) with settings so I am always asked if it
tries to

Do you actually have LU v3.0 installed or is this an update ?

Maybe you might want to try uninstalling and then re-installing LU v3.0
manually.

I never installed 3.0. I believe the last LiveUpdate gave me
LuComServer_3_0.exe. The file is dated 5/15/06 and is version 3.0.0.166.

I just configured LuComServer_3_0.exe in ZoneAlarm to ask before accessing
the Internet (like I had version 2.6 configured). Now LiveUpdate runs (after
I give permission), but now I get another error, LU1875 - "This update
failed during its preprocessing welcome text phase". It downloaded a bunch
of files and seems to have determined most of my products are up to date,
except one NAV virus definition, which was aborted due to LU1875.

I will look into your link, but I want to see if LuComServer attempts to
access the Internet again. My guess is it won't work until I let it call
home.
