  • 1.  Uninstalling the Liveupdate?

    Posted Dec 03, 2008 02:54 AM

    Hi All

     

    We are having some problems with an endpoint installation, for more info read this post:

    What will happen to the Brightmail if we uninstall the liveupdate from add remove programs?

    Will brightmail still function, and what about the filter updates?

    This really depends on the product you are running, can you give us the exact product name and version?

     

    Cheers,

    If you are using Symantec Brightmail Antispam, I don't think you are going to have an issue as SBAS doesn't actually use liveupdate to download av defs, it actually uses the SBAS component called the conduit which is responsible for downloading the antispam and av defs.
