Vitaes Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 With this update, my Norton saw the Net-7.exe proxy as a threat and removed it! Now I have to do a full reinstall. If you have Norton 360 and have SONAR advanced protection turned on, you might want to change that setting or specify Net-7 as a good address. Anyone else have a problem with this?

cpwings Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 You can just restore it from options and remove it from blocked list. Much quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyp [LDEV] Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Norton is a little overzealous Vitaes. It is recognizing this unsigned (relatively small exe) as a potential threat, that's all. But like the other guy said above, you should be able to restore it from a Virus chest unless you set it up to delete anything it finds instantly.

I thought I had it set up to nuke everything coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
