download LU3.3

Delete all liveupdate folders ( Do a search for this)
install Livupdate
do a repair of SEP from add/remove programs

open liveupdate
select interactive mode, click ok
start -run check only Antivirus defintions; check if that downloads..

Try adding a exception to your firewall (or windows firewall depending on what operating system your using).

check for virus or another anti virus software was installed

open services.msc from run window and then find avgwdsvc.exe. right click and select properties then check the disabled checkbox. Apply and get out of services.msc. now try to install the new version of avg.

Question/Issue:
When you install Symantec AntiVirus or Symantec Client Security, you see the error message "1920 Service Defwatch failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."


Solution:
This problem has more than one cause, so more than one solution is provided. To fix the problem, try each of the following solutions in the order that they appear.

Confirm that you have the correct rights and permissions
The most common cause of this problem is incorrect rights or permissions. Make sure that you have Local Administrator rights to the target computer. Confirm that no restrictions on the Local Administrator or Domain Administrator accounts exist.. Follow the directions in the document Troubleshooting Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition installations: Checking rights and permissions.


Confirm that the Defwatch service has the correct settings
This problem can happen when the Defwatch service account has incorrect settings. Make sure that the Defwatch service is set to log on as the Local System account. Confirm that the service is allowed to interact with the desktop.

To confirm the Defwatch service settings

1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start > Run.
2. In the Open box, type services.msc and then click OK.
3. Do one of the following, depending on your program version:
   • For Symantec AntiVirus 10.x, right-click the Symantec AntiVirus Definition Watcher entry.
   • For Symantec AntiVirus 9.x and earlier, right-click the Defwatch entry.
4. Click Properties.
5. On the Log On tab, confirm that the Local System Account is selected and that "Allow service to interact with desktop" is checked.
6. Click OK.

Look for a Program file at the root of the OS drive.
If McAfee antivirus 4.03 or 4.5 was installed on the computer, look for a file that is named "Program" at the root of the OS drive. If the file exists, delete it.
