[Elecraft] P3 Utility (Windows Version 1.3.7.22)

[Phil LaMarche]

I have used AVG Professional on my 3 computers for over 12 years and have
never had a virus problem.  AVG stops everything cold.  There are others
just as good but why switch if it's not broken.  Agree on Norton as that's
what I came from before AVG.  Nothing but problems.

This is my first contribution to this list, however I have been long time
"silent" reader of all the posts. This time I decided to reply as an IT
Professional I have developed strong " allergy " against Norton product
line. 

I do run my own successful business here, providing professional IT business
services to a lot of different companies. One, very unpleasant thing I have
to always deal with is "Norton". We have setup a rule here - not to help
anybody if they run any kind of Norton antivirus software on their
computers. We actually consider Norton as one of the biggest viruses out
there. 

I have to defend Elecraft position here by saying that there is nothing
wrong with their P3 Utility, but there is everything wrong with Norton! And
yes, before you start to "hammer" me here, I do know lots of happy Norton
users, but I also know many of them which are now even happier with
different product. 

John, if you want to do something good to your PC, get rid of your Norton,
you will be surprised with the extra speed released from your computer and
you will also get much better protection than Norton can give you with
different software. 

Elecraft software products are rock solid, and yes, I do use them on PC, Mac
as well as Linux. 

Good luck.

Hello Elecrafters , 

I have been trying unsuccessfully to install the P3 Utility (Windows Version
1.3.7.22). My virus protection program, Norton 360, will not allow it.
Norton pops up a message that a serious security breach has occurred. Then
I'm asked to restart my computer. 

I tried the install a couple of times on each of two different computers,
one running Windows XP , and the other running Vista. The results were
exactly the same. 

I know, I know, turn off the Norton 360. But hold on a minute, Norton 360 is
just doing its job Something is wrong with the way the latest P3 Utility is
coded. Norton 360 has never before objected to any program installations on
these computers, including several versions of the K3 Utility. 

I am hoping that the programmer of the P3 Utility reads this and fixes the
problem with the code. 

I have received notification that my P3 is about to be shipped, so I need
the Utility to be working on my computer soon. 

Many thanks and 73, 

John, W2GW
