[Elecraft] Trouble Downloading KPA1500 Utility

[Rick WA6NHC]

When Norton quarantines a file or deletes it, it usually gives you a pop 
up that allows you to see what action was taken.  The user should click 
on that to bring up the security panel for that file, then tell Norton 
to 'trust' it and undo what it did.

The other option is if you can download the file and before Norton scans 
it (as in extracting from a zip), you right click on the file, go to the 
Norton file area and within that you can also tell Norton to ignore that 
file.

Failing those, you can have someone email the file to you (zip) and tell 
Norton that it's allowed.
