Is it better to un install SP2 or NORTON to TRY to correct this?

If you upgraded to SP2 after you had Norton installed, removing and reinstalling may help, but if you installed Norton after SP2, it probably won't (unless it didn't install properly).

Norton provides instructions with that error on what to do with it when you get it. It is likely that there is a hyperlink contained in that error notice that will point you to a patch that you would need to download from Symantec. You download this patch and execute it and it would likely clear up your problem. If it doesn't, then the issue is not the same one I am thinking of.
SP2 firewall and Norton work very well together if you are using Systemworks and keep everything current. SP2 actually encourages you to use Norton or McAfee. But the error message is definately a Norton error message and not a windows one.

I don't see any error message from Norton in any of the above post ,unless its in one of the links ,so i don't know what error message you refer to ,
But a Trojan/Spyware can disable Nortons ,and updates from working and the ability to get them returns after the trojan/spyware is removed .

This problem could occur because of Spyware , go on over to the Security section of this fourm and post you problem along with a hijackthis log .
Spyware & Trojans and Other Nasties

Please Don't post the hijackthis log in this section Thanks .

Please do this.
Download 'Hijack This!'. HijackThis
Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\HJT\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
Your copy of HijackThis needs to be in a folder of it's own. When HJT fixes anything, it makes backups of the original files in the folder it is in. Since Temporary folders are emptied now and then (the files are DELETED), it would not be a good idea to have your backups there. Those backups would be VITAL to restoring your system if something went wrong in the FIX process!
1. Please go to you're 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'.
2. Copy and paste HijackThis.exe to the new folder.
3. Close ALL windows except HJT
4. SCAN with HJT
5. POST the new log in this thread using 'Add Reply'
DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES OR CLICK "FIX CHECKED" UNTIL WE CHECK THE LOG, AS SOME OF THE FILES ARE LEGIT AND VITAL TO YOUR COMPUTER'S HEALTH
The problem is in the redirector for Norton's "Live Update" that's what LU stands for. What has happened is that there are some older versions of Live update out there that are not exactly compatible with the newer versions and the patch is why it is necessary to to fill in that gap in order to make the Live update function work correctly. Please try visiting this page from Symantec to better understand the error. Nothing was hijacked, it's not a trojan or spyware. It's just a needed compatibility patch that can cure it. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/sharedtech.nsf/d3c44a1678bd8f45852566aa005902cb/aeede83fd244db6188256ed10050ce58?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam

Good one ,Im here to help and learn ,always learning,thanks .
?? I still dont see where the orignal poster gave a norton Error reported ,they just say that they are not able to update Nortons !!!!!!!!
I have had the problem before and knew enough about it. In the title of the thread, Norton was mentioned . The whole issue doesn't have anything to do with SP2 because it existed before SP2 was ever released. The Live Update program is a part of the Norton program that makes it so you are able to download the latest Virus and Security definitions from the Symantec site
I run SystemWorks Pro and Internet Security Pro and have used these for a few years. Uninstalling Norton and re-installing Norton won't fix this. Norton leaves behind residual files in the registry and unless you know how to completley and manually pull those out of the registry, you won't even be able to do the uninstall / re-install sucessfully because you have to manually delete this by hand in the registry editor. LU1806 , LU means "Live Update"
Norton only works best on a re-install when the hard drive has no references to Norton or Symantec in it anywhere. You have to pull out all of the registry entries and then go to C: /program files/Norton and delete that,after you have uninstalled it in the control panel. It's all got to be out of there to have a successful re-install. You have to clear it from your start menu too. If you don't know how to edit the registry on your own, don't do it. You will really mess it up potentially to the point of where you would have to reload the O/S.
BTW, LU 1806 is the Norton Error. please read this page. It should save you some $$ on the tech support side.

I had this same problem. Norton has a tool that automatically fixed this. It worked for me first try. Just click on this link and follow the onscreen instructions. Make sure to click yes to any popups or security toolbars that popup. http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/asa/ss/sa/index.jsp?said=lu_clean&act=intro&sess=101627683&docid=2005072715392513
