Norton's SONAR protection doesn't like version 2.1.18. It immediately blocks
and quarantines the file complaining of suspicious activity. At the moment I
can't trust Huggle at all, because version 17 is doing crazy updates and
version 18 isn't liked by Norton.

Could you tell me if it happens with older versions too? I assume so, according
to virustotal.com it's clean

It looks as though Norton's SONAR knows there is a link to previous versions,
and in my case starting with my original Huggle 2.1.15, which it says is the
source file. Then I managed to update all the way to 2.1.17 without any
problems, but come 2.1.18 (the third update) it's decided this is suspicious
activity. I stopped using 2.1.17 when an incident occurred of it reverting a
reverter and blanked several pages in the process.
It looks harmless enough from what SONAR said it was doing to the system:
Source File:
huggle 2.1.15.exe
File Created:
huggle 2.1.16.exe
File Created:
huggle 2.1.17.exe
File Created:
huggle 2.1.18.exe

Event: Process start (Performed by c:\...\huggle 2.1.18.exe, PID:5032)
No action taken
I am going to break this chain and try again having removed the file from
quarantine. Nasnema.

OK, let me know if you had more troubles with that, otherwise I consider this
as sorted out

I couldn't get SONAR to forget anything so I'll have to wait for a new version
and ensure that it is a direct download. Maybe I'll wait for version 3.
