Strange behaviour with Norton Internet security 2009

[madcat]

Hello Dexpot!
I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 and I've just installed v1.5 over 1.42? and noticed a weird behaviour of NIS 2009 once I did so. I have an archive of files from a security course I did last year which NIS considers to be risks and up to now NIS has warned me of the presence of these files each time I log on or come back from the screen saver, up to now I've been happy with that (since it also gives me confidence NIS is doing its job, however, since I installed v1.5, NIS is popping up a warning of security risks every 10 minutes or so. I've no idea of the criteria NIS actually uses to pop up the security risks dialog but it would appear that Dexpot 1.5 is somehow triggering it regularly. I'm guessing but does Dexpot access or refresh anything with to do the login process from time to time?

who are you talking to? Dexpot? Me? Us?



Norton does heuristic virus detection and thus identifies Dexpot as trojan, spyware, etc. I don't know Norton very well, but there should be a way to define an exception for Dexpot's *.exe(s).

since it also gives me confidence NIS is doing its job

Don't be too sure about that.
