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

[Harry Yingst]

I would dump Norton's


Years ago (when Norton had it) his stuff was pretty good Symantec,
seems to have turned most the stuff Norton wrote into bloatware.
I have never had a virus and I've been working with computers for over 35 years.

What I now use is simply the Microsoft security essentials (and common sense).

Another thing is to change the user account control settings in Windows
to at a minimum have you notified when a program tries to make a change.

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!
