A note from the link stated by Tim Lopez

Please note that the issues that some users were experiencing where the Norton product would lock up after installing the 18.5 update was due to a definition that was applied after 18.5 was installed. We have since corrected that definition and the issue will not occur.

Yes Norton Toolbar works now with FF 4.0.1

Not sure but probably they add a new variant of Tidserv

From their blog before, it was known that Tidserv uses the critical atapi.sys to be infected.

Don't know just yet, mine will not update the new build via live update at this time.

c/p:

As a standard practice, we will be deploying the patch in a phased manner. On Monday, May 2nd 2011, we will be releasing the patch to some randomly selected English customers. We will then monitor our telemetry, as well as this forum, for any problem reports or issues.
Once we have confirmed the effectiveness of the patch we will make it available to all customers. We will post an update on the Norton Community Forums when we make the patch available to all customers.

Actually what is your current version? Did you try to update through GUI of Norton Live Update? Seems free trials are not allowed.

From the screen-shot you posted:
Examples of ineligible products includes:
- Free trials
- Products with perpetual license instead of a subscription...

So unless you are using paid subscription license, you can't get the update. :)

Well free trials can be considered like "90 days trial giveaway". So its like they are limiting it only exclusive for paid subscription.
