    There is no "Disable" option.

    What you could do is put in a fake proxy address. Just put in a non-routable IP address and it won't be able to get out.

    Admin page >> Select your SEPM >> Edit the server properties >> Proxy Server tab

    Enter in fake info here

    Hello,

    In your case, Disabling the Liveupdate from Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager could not be done.

    However, I would suggest you to use different option like LUA to update the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager via Internet. 

    The reason, I am suggesting this as .jdb file includes only AV/AS definitions.

    For updating PTP and IPS signatures, you would need Internet only.

    This could be achieved by using LUA on a different machine.

    Check these Articles:

    Hi,

    Disabling the LiveUpdate button within the SEP client UI on an unmanaged SEP client

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH105398

    If it's a managed then applied policy is not working?

    Thanks for your comments I will try to see if the manager stop trying to update itself at every second since I want to remove unwanted traffic on the network. I will check if using LUA on another computer is possible but I don't think so as I said this network is completly sealed the only reason AV is installed on computer is to avoid gettin those USB stick virus.
