My C:\ drive is full.

How to change the liveupdate default location to some other location ?

You cannot change the virus definition location. It is hard-coded into SEP.

You can try moving to a new drive

Brian,

Thanks. However I am using the Norton Antivirus product.

The document shows how to remap the contents under "Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager".

Searches in Win XP registry did not pull anything relevant to a directory location.

Like you said, it is hard-coded in the product.

Kicked off the liveupdate and tried to figure out which directory it was writing to.

No luck.

The directory under C:\Prog Files\Norton Antivirus\ did not grow.

It was 50 MB while starting the liveupdate and remained constant.

Assumed to find anything in Doc & Settings\Downloads and did not find anything there either.

Long story short, I looked hard enough and cleared around 1 GB from old installs/ downloads and got around liveupdate download whatever it wanted.

Maybe you can still post the exact directory where Norton writes to on a win XP machine. My Norton version is 18.7.1.3.

Will help those who run into the same issue.

Thanks for your solution though.

I can see how it can be used to circumvent other software that locks in the C drive ;-)

Cheers.

Sorry thought you were using SEP.

You can post over on the Norton forums:

http://community.norton.com/

But I've also heard this location cannot be changed for Norton as well. This forum should best help you though.

Brian and whoever is reading this thread.

Clarification on my previous post on why I could not use Brian's solution.

Brian's documentation has a reference to directory called Symantec\...\...

On my win XP machine it is installed under C:\Prog Files\Norton AntiVirus\

Without knowing the exact directory where Norton is downloading the new antivirus definitions it is hard to map to a new volume/new drive.

Thanks Brian.

No worries.

Good day !
