I just installed this release. During the install, I received a Norton

it"
(like fixing a cat maybe :) ).
Anyway, according to MozillaZine, it says this is a false positive,
associated with Foxfire and Sea Monkey. So what did Norton "screw up"
by dealing with this "problem"?
Ugh sounds like either they mistook the whitelist here, or your
auto-update by them didn't go fast enough.
[We manually give our files to Norton shortly after they are available
to try and prevent this issue]
I'll reach out to my contact on monday to try and determine what
happened.
I use Norton AV and haven't had any of these problems with the Mac
version of SM2.13.1.
I don't think Mac NAV uses cloud to compare files like Windows' version
does.
Yuk...don't like the sound of that. Yeah, I still get downloaded NAV
updates and the scans take place locally - at least they do for my
SnoLep installs, Lion *is* a bit different. If the Mac version ever
goes that way I think I'll change protection software. I hope they at
least give you a choice of how to operate...
Frankly, I can't see how enterprise is going to deal with all this
"cloud" nonsense as far as corporate security, copyright, and
proprietary or competition sensitive information go. I've heard the
next version of Office is supposedly cloud-driven. I can't see any
corporate user upgrading to it, for those reasons.
