Updated definition files are retrieved through HTTP. This information is required unless you use a host file. The default setting for the LiveUpdate transport protocol is HTTP.
Symantec Protection Engine contacts a specified server to check for and to retrieve updated definition files. You must supply the appropriate LiveUpdate server name. The default server is liveupdate.symantec.com.
If you retrieve updates through HTTP and your network requires Internet requests to proxy through another server, specify those proxy settings in the LiveUpdate configuration file.
