[Elecraft] KX3 update utility download removed (i.e. blocked)

[Bill Breeden]

Oliver,

Right click on the Norton icon on the task bar and select the "Disable Auto-Protect" option.  The default 15 minute duration should be plenty of time to download and install the utility. If you finish sooner you can restart the protection manually by clicking on the Norton icon again. That's what I do on my Windows 7 PC to install obscure radio related software that Norton doesn't recognize.

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!
