hi all

anyone know what the above program does ?  zonealarm has recently started requesting permission for it to access the internet.
i'm not sure if its to do with norton av, or is it spyware. adaware doesnt pick up on it...any ideas gratefully received.

Looks like you need it Dave its part of Nortons live update process  

Lucomserver

Lucoms~1 LuComServer.exe

Lucoms~1.exe

(Symantec) LiveUpdate Engine COM Module.  LUCOMSERVER is entirely to do with Norton?s LiveUpdate, whether you have Norton AntiVirus, Norton PCAnywhere, Norton Personal Firewall, or Norton Internet Security.  It only appears in your Task List if you happen to bring up the Task List at the very moment that Norton?s LiveUpdate is checking whether there are software or virus definitions updates, or if LiveUpdate is in the process of downloading updates (LUCOMS~1 is the 8.3 DOS name for the program and only shows as such if somehow your system has lost its ability to display long program names).

Recommendation :
Do nothing. As soon as LiveUpdate finishes LUCOMSERVER will disappear from your Task List.  If LiveUpdate is not allowed to finish (your connection to the Internet is closed), or is waiting for end-user input, LUCOMSERVER will remain in the Task List.

Maybe the program updated last time, Dave, and ZA is telling you it's been changed.
