    Try doing manual live update on the SEPM box.go to start>run>luall.

    Kindly observe the live update activity and check for any errors.

    Hi,

    Please check this document and let us know if this helps.

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/troubleshooting-liveupdate-issues

    You can run the same test that Barkha mentioned on a client workstation and check if the client gets updated.
    If it does, then the issue could be with the SEPM. And then you can check for more erros in SEPM.

    However, if the client does not get updated then it could be a network/proxy/firewall issue.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Aniket

    Hi,

    could you please attach an updated screenshot of the definitions in the SEPM? I'd like to compare it with the first one you provided us.
    In this way we can check if all kinds of contents are blocked or not.

    Thanks,

    Make live update run as a scheduled task once a say - that worked for us.

    Thanks for the screenshot.
    It is clear that LiveUpdate is working because something is up-to-date while the AV defs are corrupted.
    Clean them:
