What do you consider connected to the Internet? If it has been connected
to a network that has a PC on that network that has been to the
Internet, or on a network that has a PC that can get email, etc it can
be exposed to a virus. And I consider that more of a threat then
starting up an application that is updating itself, because worms will
look for other PC's to infect.
I should also note here that I am also using a Gigafast firewall/router.
Would this be sufficient protection to be able to run LiveUpdate so I can
get Norton's firewall up & running?
The firewall/router is probably using NAT so PCs outside of your network
are not going to know about your PCs behind the router. Now you can rout
incoming traffic to addresses behind the firewall but it needs to be
setup to do that. You have to do what make you comfortable, but I would
not have a problem doing it with that setup or for that short of a time.
