Symantec Norton SystemWorks 2004 (LiveUpdate Issue)

Hi list!  I am writing to you because sadly, I cannot call anybody in tech 
support for this issue because they are not supporting this product 
anymore, starting Dec/1/2005. 

My problem is that LiveUpdate blows up at the end of the download and when 
it starts to apply the subscription (which I think is for the additional 
year of antivirus protection I bought back in 9/6/2005).  This is the log:

The following Symantec products and components are installed on your 
computer.

> LiveUpdate
> Norton AntiVirus
> Norton AntiVirus Virus Definitions
> Norton CleanSweep
> Norton Ghost

> Norton WMI Update
> ScriptBlocking
> Subscription Services
> Symantec Common Driver: SymEvent

Installing Subscription Services (1 of 1), failed.
LU1812: A program that was part of this update failed when it ran.  This update 
was not applied.

Installation failed, error summary...
LU1806: LiveUpdate downloaded all of the updates you requested, but all of them 
failed to install.  Please try to get the updates at a later time.

LiveUpdate session is complete.

I have uninstalled the whole application and installed it again, allowed 
their automated support assistant to take care of the issue but is still 
recommending to reboot the PC and start LiveUpdate again.  Well, I have 
done that dozen of times.  I do not think I should get Symantec Norton 
SystemWorks 2006 because I am fine with the current product and I have 
antivirus coverage at least until Sept/06.

Do you have any recommendations or at least a phone number so I can 
contact them?

Recommendations are appreciated.

TIA,
