As a 20 year veteran IT Director it is my opinion that the Norton product is source of the fault.

AVG stops everything cold. There are others just as good but why switch if it's not broken. Agree on Norton as that's what I came from before AVG. Nothing but problems.

This time I decided to reply as an IT Professional I have developed strong " allergy " against Norton product line. I do run my own successful business here, providing professional IT business services to a lot of different companies. One, very unpleasant thing I have to always deal with is "Norton". We have setup a rule here - not to help anybody if they run any kind of Norton antivirus software on their computers. We actually consider Norton as one of the biggest viruses out there. I have to defend Elecraft position here by saying that there is nothing wrong with their P3 Utility, but there is everything wrong with Norton! And yes, before you start to "hammer" me here, I do know lots of happy Norton users, but I also know many of them which are now even happier with different product. John, if you want to do something good to your PC, get rid of your Norton, you will be surprised with the extra speed released from your computer and you will also get much better protection than Norton can give you with different software. Elecraft software products are rock solid, and yes, I do use them on PC, Mac as well as Linux. Good luck.

My virus protection program, Norton 360, will not allow it. Norton pops up a message that a serious security breach has occurred. Then I'm asked to restart my computer. I tried the install a couple of times on each of two different computers, one running Windows XP , and the other running Vista. The results were exactly the same. I know, I know, turn off the Norton 360. But hold on a minute, Norton 360 is just doing its job Something is wrong with the way the latest P3 Utility is coded. Norton 360 has never before objected to any program installations on these computers, including several versions of the K3 Utility. I am hoping that the programmer of the P3 Utility reads this and fixes the problem with the code. I have received notification that my P3 is about to be shipped, so I need the Utility to be working on my computer soon. Many thanks and 73, John, W2GW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http ://mailman. qth .net/mailman/ listinfo / elecraft Help: http ://mailman. qth .net/ mmfaq . htm Post: mailto : Elecraft @mailman. qth .net This list hosted by: http :// www . qsl .net Please help support this email list: http :// www . qsl .net/donate. html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
