[Elecraft] P3 Utility (Windows Version 1.3.7.22)

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

I would suggest you ditch the Norton AV - it used to be a good AV 
program, but has fallen way behind others that are available, many for free.
I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials with great success, and 
used the free AVG anti-virus before that, no problem with either one, 
but I believe the MS Security Essentials is actually better, and less 
intrusive about doing updates.
