Oops, I meant I have since turned back on “enable auto-protect” not real time protection.

This did not work for me but it did put me on the right path.

I turned on “enhanced error support” under the Live Update General tab. I also, strangely enough, turned off the enable auto-protect (available by right clicking the system tray icon). After these two things, I updated near instantly, instead of slowly building up to hanging at 99%. I have since turned back on real time protection.

Thanks for the direction to the control panel settings for Symantec Live Update. I found it really helpful.

I have followed the steps mentioned above. After that it is able to update it to 100%. But after that it is showing the old date of virus definition.
Can you please help me?
