Norton LiveUpdate is an update component included with Norton products. It downloads and installs updates for those products, and an .nlu file provides information that LiveUpdate uses to process an e-mail-based update trigger.
The file is intended for use by Norton software and is not normally edited or opened independently. Its presence and use depend on the Norton product and version installed.
An .nlu file is not intended to be opened manually. Norton LiveUpdate processes it automatically when the associated Norton product requires it.
There is no general-purpose application for viewing this file as a document. Do not rename or edit it unless Norton support specifically instructs you to do so.
.nlu files are internal Norton LiveUpdate trigger files and cannot be meaningfully converted to another format.
If the file is needed by Norton software, it should remain in its original form and be handled by LiveUpdate.
