Norton 2003 Logs - Privacy Threat or Not?

What information is stored in the Norton Antivirus 2003 logs? Does it track visited URLs?

I believe all that is recorded is information regarding the Live Update feature and an installation log. What exactly is your concern?

I'm sure that the norton antivirus makes logs on what viruses and malware it has detected on your computer. The links it gives are just information they made about that particular virus/malware. It also shows the address within your computer on where the bad stuff is. I haven't used norton in a while, but I'm sure thats what it logs. If thats what your asking.
