Microsoft removes the update block for August Win7 patches on Symantec/Norton systems

Posted on August 28, 2019 at 07:18 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

Symantec advises that it and Microsoft have come to an agreement about Symantec and Norton antivirus problems with the August Win7 and Server 2008 R2 patches. As a result, MS relaxed its weeks-long block on installing the August Monthly Rollup and Security-only patches on systems running Symantec and Norton antivirus products.

Details in Computerworld Woody on Windows.

Thx, @RDRGuy
