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

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

After I got tired of both Norton and McAfee and dumped them years ago, I
have been using AVG without incident for at least a decade now. And doing
research via the WEB, I'm all over the place downloading files, etc., from
unknown sites as well as dealing with attachments to e-mails daily. 

AVG has a free version but you must remember to manually update it daily. I
willingly pay for good stuff that works, so I have a paid subscription.
Costs about $22/year for each machine. 

I've considered switching to Windows Defender but also avoid fixing things
that aren't broken.

Dumped Norton many years ago. It's nearly a virus itself. Haven't seen a
replacement suggested yet, so.. I've been very happy with NOD32. It's around
$30/yr, not the cheapest, but hasn't let me down. Have also heard good
reviews of Avast which is (used to be?) free.
