The word Anti-Virus has always been a misnomer.
The AV software is ALWAYS going to be 12-24 hours behind the malware
writers. If you get bit, the AV software may find it after you update
definitions...but it might not. If you get bit by the wrong bug no
amount of fiddling with AV definitions is going to remove the infection.
Most AV software is mediocre at best when it comes to removing
virii/malware. Learn how to remove virii/malware manually and how to
re-install operating systems from boot media or archived disk image.
Yes...I know...most people don't want to learn these things. I think of
it as job security.

I would dump Norton's
Years ago (when Norton had it) his stuff was pretty good Symantec,
seems to have turned most the stuff Norton wrote into bloatware.
I have never had a virus and I've been working with computers for over 35 years.
What I now use is simply the Microsoft security essentials (and common sense).
Another thing is to change the user account control settings in Windows
to at a minimum have you notified when a program tries to make a change.

Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 update utility download removed (i.e. blocked) by
Norton Internet Security in Windows 7
Hi all,
My Norton Internet Security removed the KX3 firmware update utility from my
Windows 7 PC after I tried to download it, based on crowdsourcing criteria
(only a few hundred users and over a year old).
Any suggestions on how to get around this?
Thanks!
Oliver Barrett KB6BA
