[Elecraft] KX3 update utility download removed (i.e. blocked) by Norton Internet Security in Windows 7

[James F. Boehner MD]

Oliver,

I have Windows 7, so hopefully this will apply to your OS.

Go to the lower right of your screen.  If you have the standard
configuration, there will be a system tray. Left click on the "up arrow" to
bring up the hidden icons.  Right click on the Norton Icon, which is a
yellow check mark with a green one within.  Click on "Disable Auto Protect".
It will give you a protection warning pop-up, and lets you select the
duration of disabling the Auto Protect.  15 minutes is generally enough
time.  Download the file, and install as usual.

Norton is a bit aggressive these days.

Hi all,

My Norton Internet Security removed the KX3 firmware update utility from my
Windows 7 PC after I tried to download it, based on crowdsourcing criteria
(only a few hundred users and over a year old).

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Thanks!
