Win 7 is still the best consumer OS ever created. I had an unexpected medical emergency that resulted in surgery (things happen when you get old). en-us/help/4512486/Ī bit off-topic, but I apologize to Group B for not releasing findings regarding telemetry from last month’s security only debacle (KB4507456). Symantec/Norton blocks Windows Updates (Born)ī/win/4/symantec-norton-blocks-windows-updates-sha-2/ Windows 7 SP1 August Windows Update not available to some Norton customers Symantec Forum – Is it safe to install August 2019 Windows 7 update?Ĭ/en/forums/it-safe-install-august-2019-windows-7-update Why they are not communicating with their customer base is beyond me. They provided sufficient advance notice of SHA2 changes and Symantec should have been better prepared to deal with it. I hope this isn’t an indication of things to come now that Symantec is in disarray (sale of enterprise division, LifeLock consumer, etc). Given the severity of the problem, one would expect better treatment of their customers. The communication from Symantec has been horrendous. Symantec needs to try and sell a Virus/Firewall Only variant for folks that do not want any Nagging Nanny-ware that can not have some features explicitly turned off and actually have those features actually stay Turned Off. Now all Symantic has to fix is their Norton Security Suite’s habit of taking over my system’s DEFRAG scheduling and a few other of its computer maintenance Tasks that I have explicitly turned off. And that whole Q and A part should have been included by the Press in any reporting for the Windows 7/Windows 2008 R2 updates that are only SHA-2 issue. I still have not installed that Windows 7 July Security Only Update on any of my laptops and it’s still DEFOCN 2 at AW for the Aug 2019 problem patches and really Symantic had to have Known that MS was switching to SHA-2 only as that’s been stated for a good long time by MS/Others. So I’ll wait for the hotfix and that come via Norton Security Suite’s updating functionality instead of having to sign-in and have to download and install that whole mess all over again. “We are planning to deliver hotfix releases based off of 14.2 RU1 MP1, 14.2 RU1, and 14.2 MP1.” “Will “X” version of SEP receive a hotfix?” In their Question/Answer section at that Syamntec link provided:
