Symantec issues faulty antivirus update

Users of Symantec Norton Antivirus 2006, or any product that contains
Norton Antivirus 2006, such as Norton Internet Security 2006, or
Systemworks 2006, may have experienced difficulties due to an faulty
update sent via Norton LiveUpdate over the weekend.

Users reported getting on screen messages stating that "Norton
AntiVirus 2006 does not support the repair feature," asking that they
uninstall and reinstall Norton Antivirus.

Symantec has posted a workaround, detailing how to turn off the messages.
