Dear Norton Community,
We are glad to announce that we have completed testing our latest inline releases of Norton AntiVirus 2011 / Norton Internet Security 2011 and we are ready to release the patches for English users.
To receive the update, simply run LiveUpdate and download the update. A reboot will be required.
To verify you have the update, launch the Main User Interface, click on Support, and select About. The version number of the new release for Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security will be 18.5.0.125.
Please Note: The patch is currently available to ENGLISH users ONLY. We will be releasing the patches in other regions soon.
The FAQ below tries to answer some common questions:
1. What is the version number for this patch?
The version number is 18.5.0.125.
Please note that all Norton Internet Security 2011 and Norton AntiVirus 2011 customers with a valid subscription will receive this update for free. Not using the Norton 2011 products? See if you qualify for a FREE update to the 2011 products by visiting the
Norton Update Center.
2. When will I receive the patch?
As a standard practice, we will be deploying the patch in a phased manner. On Monday, December 27th 2010, we will be releasing the patch to some randomly selected English customers. We will then monitor our telemetry, as well as this forum, for any problem reports or issues.
Once we have confirmed the effectiveness of the patch we will make it available to all customers. We will post an update on the Norton Community Forums when we make the patch available to all customers.

This update is currently only available through LiveUpdate. We will update this post when we have the update published in other venues.

Please note that the issues that some users were experiencing where the Norton product would lock up after installing the 18.5 update was due to a definition that was applied after 18.5 was installed. We have since corrected that definition and the issue will not occur.
