As a Security Administrator, I obviously don't want all of my users to have all the priviledges of the Administrator user setting. However, in order to make my time more efficient, I need them to be able to do their own updates to the Norton Anti-Virus program and the critical updates for Windows. Is there any way that I can alter the Limited User profile category to allow my users to do the everyday maintenence tasks?

for norton you can try to make them power users.
or give them full control to the norton and the live update executables.

For windows update you can use the SUS of mircrosoft to deploy updates via a lan.

They can already do the live update function, but when it's done the computer won't let them install the updates without administrator priviledges.

I agree with Leopold. Placing the user in the power users groups gives the user some administrative funtionality but not full. Deploying updates and patches via SUS with be a good method to test and then schedule what machines and when the updates with be applied.
