I recently installed a new anti-virus program and wished to completely
delete all reference to Norton Antivirus on my Windows XP (SP2) computer.
Later, for no apparent reason, at bootup I receive the following message:
"Windows cannot find C:\Progra~1\Symantec\Liveup~1\LUSetup.exe'. Make sure
you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file,
click the start button, and then click Search." A tech rep suggested I
delete all registry lines containing reference to Symantec. That doesn't
sound like good advice to me! My logic suggests I should be looking for
whatever it is that is telling Windows to look for the live update program,
but there's no mention of such a command in any of the startup menus I can
find. A registry scan with Registry Mechanic found one problem under the
startup section. The location was listed as
"HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\current version\RunOnce" and
the LUSetup=C:\Progra~1\Symantec\Liveup~1\LUSetup.exe. While this is not
a critical fault it is most frustrating; if I click the "OK" button, my
desktop appears and things progress as normal. I would be much obliged,
indeed, if someone can explain what's happening and how I can fix it.
