LUALL.EXE is part of Symantec's "Live Update" but it's also is a target for viruses that try to terminate it; preventing you from being able to update
What is luall.exe?
•
It appears to be a component of Symantec's "Live Update" technology as used by their security products. It's also a common target of viruses, who take steps to terminate it to prevent you from being able to update.

was required to take a programming class in 1976. An 18 year career as a programmer at Microsoft soon followed.

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!

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
