Don't know if anyone else has experienced this but this morning I get 
this message from Norton that the P3utility program is a threat named 
"Heur.AdvML.C" and that P3Utility.exe has been removed.

Don't know if the recent major upgrade of Windows had any effect or most 
likely it is due to the low number of P3Utility users that also have 
Norton installed as they show less than 100 users.

Expect this is just another of those cases where Norton is flagging 
because of few users so just going to reload.

Pasted below is the Norton explanation.  No need to flame Norton, I 
understand its peculiarities just posted for information only.
