In Control Panel, hit "Add/Remove Programs", and you should be able to uninstall it from there.

Hi everyone,
I used to have a very similar problem with luall.exe program... whenever I do used to conect to the internet, the AntiVirus started to scan several number of mails to fake address [like kwilleidunno@gmail.com] and the usage of the conection was almost imposible.

I fixed the problem at first *recovering* the system from my Recovery DVDs [I'm using a HP Pavilion dv1000] and it worked fine again...

But then, after I do reconfigured my LAN, I do noticed about a very rare exe in my shared folder... and after running it [norton never warned me] I started to get the mail sending problem again.

I was able to fix it again just deleting the luall.exe file... and I have the exe that caused it also [Still on my LAN somewhere, I think... the program named itself "setup.exe" and it has a size of 39.5 KB (40,448 bytes)] ... but I don't know if Symantec knows about this problem.

Hehe... just sharing personal experience with everyone @-@; ... and hoping someone find it usefull.

I just upagraded my Symantec virus from 2007 to 2008, and now Windoctor keeps telling me LUALL.exe can't find mfc80.dll. When I try to copy it into the \symantec\liveupdate directory, I get an error message about not having authorized access.

Of course Symantecs web site knows nothing, as always. Caching!

Everytime I try to run LiveUpdate, The entry Point for luall.exe is Not Found...
I've tried running the tool from symantec for the luall.exe file, and i stil can't get it to work...

This is exactly what the window says when I try to "Fix Risks":
"The procedure entry point GetNextDlgTabItee could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll."

Please try and help, and thanks for your time
