[Elecraft] spectrogram and Norton...

[John Ragle]

There's a reason why Norton comes free with many computers (guess why?). 
The  program is, IMHO, junk...and it is the first thing that comes off 
of any commercial box I or my wife buy. There are at least two problems 
with it...(1) it steals 'way too many clock cycles, and (2) it has a 
tendency to give specious warnings. The warning about Spectrogram is one 
of this type. I think David Gilbert is spot on...Norton is a form of 
malware.
