Error: (8920,1234) "Norton LiveUpdate was unable to install an update"

STEP 1

Run LiveUpdate after 24 hours

An intermittent problem with the LiveUpdate servers can cause this error. You can be assured that this problem is fixed quickly. Wait for 24 hours and then run LiveUpdate again.

You may notice this error when you run LiveUpdate manually. LiveUpdate downloads these updates automatically, and often by the time you manually run LiveUpdate again, the updates will be installed successfully.

If the virus definitions are out of date, you can use Intelligent Updater to update it.

STEP 2

Check your Virus Definitions date

Open your Norton device security product.

If you see the My Norton window, next to Device Security, click Open.
In the main window, Under You Are Protected, check for the date next to Protection Updates.
Depending on your situation, do one of the following:
- If the time is less than one day, then wait for 24 hours and then run LiveUpdate again.
- If the time is more than one day, go to Step 3 to update your virus definitions using Intelligent Updater.

STEP 3

Update your virus definitions using Intelligent Updater

Go to the Intelligent Updater downloads page.

The Intelligent Updater download page is currently hosted by Symantec Enterprise Security, which is now a division part of Broadcom Inc.
To choose the correct definition set, you need to know the name and version of your Norton product and the version of Windows.
- Find the name and version of Norton
- Find your version of Windows

Depending on your version of Windows and Norton, download the appropriate definition set.

22.9 and later	e.g. 20170126-020-core3sdsg2v5i32.exe	e.g. 20170126-020-core3sdsg2v5i64.exe
