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

[Richard Fjeld]

The first thing I do when I buy a new computer is to un-install any 
third party virus/security software that is on it, before it can become 
embedded.
I am  very satisfied with Windows Defender.  It has surprised me a 
couple times by catching Trojans with a high warning.
