Sleepless is just really nice

It wasn't meant like that. It's just that without the info you just provided, there is nothing to be done. With this info I can tell you right away that it's one of many false positives from NIS.

Edit: I especially loved this reply in that thread (page 11):

You are perfectly right this has now been going on a long time - dates back to 2009. Hence this is simple incompetence/ negligence on the part of Norton. Perhaps a 100 million $ class law suite might make them recognise that this is unacceptable behaviour.



Perhaps a quick solution is don't delete the file by default but give further information to the user and a choice of action.



For example a screen could pop up that says:



Norton 2010 has detected a potential threat in the downloaded file, but due to poor software engineering at Norton there is a high chance that this is a false positive.



What action would you like to take?



1. Delete the file

2. Use the file

3. Contact Norton tech support (but don't expect a reply - but hopefully it will make you feel better)

4. Delete Norton (recommended)







Seriously Norton get your fingers out and get this sorted , as a tech support person I'm getting sick and tired of sorting out your problems with our customers - our recommendation to them is dump Norton and use a Russian sounding name!
