[w7aqk]

Hi All,

What Jim and Tony said about Norton agrees with what my "IT Guru" suggested. 
Just use Windows Defender.  I've used Norton in the past with very mixed 
results and frustrations.  I'm sure it is a well intended product, but it 
seemed to create a lot of problems for me.  I've had similar problems with 
McAfee.


That said, I recently had a very strange issue with Skype, which I use 
frequently.  I have Windows 10, and for whatever reason, the microphone 
setting kept being reset to "zero" no matter what I did--reloaded software, 
drivers, etc., no resolution.  The microphone works fine on all other 
programs--just not on Skype.  Anyway, on a Skype help blog someone (actually 
a lot of people) said they had the very same issue, downloaded Malwarebytes, 
ran that, and it identified some "critters", which when isolated, solved the 
problem.  I decided to do the same, and got a positive result.  The problem 
appears to be solved.  Apparently Windows Defender didn't pick up on the 
problem.  So far I've had no problems with Malwarebytes.  It scans at night, 
but is not overly invasive.


I know this is "OT", but since we deal with so much software along with our 
radios, maybe this is helpful--maybe not.  I'm not very knowledgeable about 
all of this software stuff.   All I know is that my computer is being 
bombarded more and more, and it is a full time job to keep it running!!!

Thanks, James.
I saw your post after I posted mine.
Temporarily overriding all protection is also an option. I prefer to 
specifically allow the utilities, so that eventually others will benefit from 
the reputation feedback to Symantec.

Thanks,
Bruce Beford

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 update utility download removed (i.e. blocked) by Norton Internet Security in Windows 7

[Richard Fjeld]

The first thing I do when I buy a new computer is to un-install any 
third party virus/security software that is on it, before it can become 
embedded.
I am  very satisfied with Windows Defender.  It has surprised me a 
couple times by catching Trojans with a high warning.

Oliver,

Right click on the Norton icon on the task bar and select the "Disable 
Auto-Protect" option.  The default 15 minute duration should be plenty of time to 
download and install the utility. If you finish sooner you can restart the protection 
manually by clicking on the Norton icon again. That's what I do on my Windows 7 PC to 
install obscure radio related software that Norton doesn't recognize.

Hi all,

My Norton Internet Security removed the KX3 firmware update utility from my 
Windows 7 PC after I tried to download it, based on crowdsourcing criteria 
(only a few hundred users and over a year old).

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Thanks!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 update utility download removed (i.e. blocked) by Norton Internet Security in Windows 7

Windows Defender (Win8 and Win10) does a fine job, and it comes with 
Windows (no extra expense).  For Win7, Microsoft Security Essentials 
(also free, but you have to download it) is also very good.


Use those tools as well as some good common sense - don't click on links 
in emails unless you know them to be safe, and do not listen to that 
phone call supposedly from Microsoft telling you that your computer is 
causing problems on the internet.


I got one of those calls 2 days ago, and when I asked him to identify 
the IP address of my 8 computers connected to the internet was causing 
the problem, he said "just hang up"!

After I got tired of both Norton and McAfee and dumped them years ago, I
have been using AVG without incident for at least a decade now. And doing
research via the WEB, I'm all over the place downloading files, etc., from
unknown sites as well as dealing with attachments to e-mails daily. 

AVG has a free version but you must remember to manually update it daily. I
willingly pay for good stuff that works, so I have a paid subscription.
Costs about $22/year for each machine. 

I've considered switching to Windows Defender but also avoid fixing things
that aren't broken.

What Jim said. According to my son who works at Google, Microsoft Defender
is just as good as Norton and much less likely to interfere with the
Windows system. Defender is built in to Windows, costs nothing, updates
automatically and scans automatically, and is the recommended virus
protection of several CS faculties.

The word Anti-Virus has always been a misnomer.

The AV software is ALWAYS going to be 12-24 hours behind the malware 
writers. If you get bit, the AV software may find it after you update 
definitions...but it might not. If you get bit by the wrong bug no 
amount of fiddling with AV definitions is going to remove the infection. 
Most AV software is mediocre at best when it comes to removing 
virii/malware. Learn how to remove virii/malware manually and how to 
re-install operating systems from boot media or archived disk image.


Yes...I know...most people don't want to learn these things. I think of 
it as job security.

Years ago (when Norton had it) his stuff was pretty good Symantec,
seems to have turned most the stuff Norton wrote into bloatware.
I have never had a virus and I've been working with computers for over 35 years.

What I now use is simply the Microsoft security essentials (and common sense).

Another thing is to change the user account control settings in Windows
to at a minimum have you notified when a program tries to make a change.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 update utility download removed (i.e. blocked) by Norton Internet Security in Windows 7

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

I would dump Norton's


Years ago (when Norton had it) his stuff was pretty good Symantec,
seems to have turned most the stuff Norton wrote into bloatware.
I have never had a virus and I've been working with computers for over 35 years.

What I now use is simply the Microsoft security essentials (and common sense).

Another thing is to change the user account control settings in Windows
to at a minimum have you notified when a program tries to make a change.

Hi all,


My Norton Internet Security removed the KX3 firmware update utility from my 
Windows 7 PC after I tried to download it, based on crowdsourcing criteria 
(only a few hundred users and over a year old).


Any suggestions on how to get around this?


Thanks!

sorry you went thru that annoyance.

I have used  Norton  exclusively and have never had a virus
or a Norton induced problem.

Norton is the only utility that

My work and hobbies are not limited to

Many fringe use programs are scrutinized
by several different security monitoring
software.
My main hobby of astrophotography uses

They are doing their job.  Simple as

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 update utility download removed (i.e. blocked) by Norton Internet Security in Windows 7

[Don Wilhelm]

Norton's method of "protection" is simply to block everything it does 
not have sufficient experience with.  That means most ham radio 
applications will be blocked.
IMHO, a very poor way to "detect" a virus - it does not have to do any 
'detecting' at all.

[Elecraft] KX3 update utility download removed (i.e. blocked) by Norton Internet Security in Windows 7

[James F. Boehner MD via Elecraft]

Oliver,

I have Windows 7, so hopefully this will apply to your OS.

Go to the lower right of your screen.  If you have the standard
configuration, there will be a system tray. Left click on the "up arrow" to
bring up the hidden icons.  Right click on the Norton Icon, which is a
yellow check mark with a green one within.  Click on "Disable Auto Protect".
It will give you a protection warning pop-up, and lets you select the
duration of disabling the Auto Protect.  15 minutes is generally enough
time.  Download the file, and install as usual.

Norton is a bit aggressive these days.

I will second that suggestion. Norton takes total control of most all programs 
and sees ham software as virus. Dumped Norton over a decade ago.
