Agreed. I see no reason to pay for A/V software. Haven't for years.
Makes no sense to me when AVG and Avast have been great and free for
many years. I find older folks seem to think that they have to pay for
it. I keep telling my Dad to just pay me the money instead and I'll
install the free one for him. lol

Best to advise your clients to get rid of the Norton crap and get
something like Avast. You can easily disable all their sandbox and
other useless crap, unlike Norton and McAfee

Delete it.
You could also try ZIPping the EXE.

How did you send it? Because of the vagaries of various email
clients, etc I now use a shared folder in Dropbox to transfer exe
files to a client.

I zip up an exe and send it to my customer as I have done for years.
Last week, Norton would not let my customer unzip it. The "Run
anyway" did
not work. Norton deleted the exe.
So I gave the exe a txt extension. Same thing. Did not even let us
rename it
to exe. It deleted is.
We both have the latest version of Norton.
