Solved: LuComServer_3_4.exe is a memory pig
Like my title suggests, I am having an issue with a Symantec/Live Update related process, LuComServer_3_4.exe. Is there any way to disable live update? I would rather manually update than have to deal with the memory usage of this process. I am seriously considering switching my antivirus/firewall for 2008 due to this fact. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a good one that is not a memory pig? Any help is appreciated, as always.................THANKS!!!

You can turn it off. Just open the main program, and there you should see an option to turn it off.

Wow. It is really that easy. With Norton, I am not used to that. I turned it off and it is much better. Thanks for the help!!!

Oh, and for a virus program, I'd recommend AVG. It's free.

Unfortunately, lucomserver_3_4.exe also starts (& never stops) when you try to do a manual update.

ON my Dell laptop, it was taking 99% of CPU time, effectively freezing the computer. My desktop was only getting hit 50% of the time, so I hadn't noticed it. I also found that it runs even without Norton antivirus, to try to update Works. I've removed all Norton from the laptop & replaced it woith McAfee, and will do so from the desktop also.

Thumbs up LuComServer_3_4.exe
disable Automatic LiveUpdate to get rid of LuComServer_3_4.exe consuming the memory.
