I temporarily uninstalled LiveUpdate and that did clear the error. I will give MS a chance to address the issue.
I will say that I have been a longtime Symantec/Norton antivirus user and recently decided to switch because I was tired of Symantec's products making presumptions about other software installed on my computer. The one that pushed me over the edge was when Symantec integrated anti-spyware into their antivirus product and didn't allow me to disable it without causing the status to show At Risk.
I tested Live OneCare for a couple months before making the switch, because it seemed much less intrusive, allowing me to choose which features to use. For example, I continue to use Norton Ghost as a backup because Live OneCare's backup solution falls short of my needs.
This latest OneCare update is a huge red flag for me. If Microsoft is going to play the game of using security alerts to encourage me to purge all competitor's software from my computer, then I will find another vendor. I think AVG was next on my list.
