Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb!
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year :)
Norton ergh! I'm going to be removing McAfee from my computer very soon, as it's been annoying me for a while, and I'm obviously never going to renew my 1 year subscription to it (which was free unwanted pre-installed mumbo jumbo on this PC when I got it). When there's better alternatives that cost well nothing basically.
It's not sying that entire WOS is insecure but that Sevenup.zip is insecure.
And yes, it's well known false positive. Sevenup is a great utility for editing Spectrum graphics but is uses some compression method which triggers the alert.
By the way , Norton Internet Security has been protecting my PC for almost seven years and it does this so well that I have forgotten how it is when the computer malfunctions .
So , basing on my personal experience , I have solid foundations to say that Norton Internet Security is reliable .

Well you went to more effort than anyone else. :)
People have been complaining about their virus scanner giving false positives off files in the WoS archive for years. Specemu is the other common one :)

Just to jog the memory - infection can slow down a computer to the speed of a PC running Norton. :p

Has it detected and removed any actual viruses in that time? cause if not the verb you're looking for is "running on" not "protecting" ;)

It's obviously a false positive.
Or a virus checker mistakes genuine code for part of a virus code...
Dump Windows and use Linux, or use a different anti virus package ;)

it's not just any Norton, it's Norton 360. that's 360 days a year of sheer protection dude. minus bank holidays I think.
ok so I take it this isn't a problem. thought I'd ask anyway, better to be ignorant than sorry, or something.
BTW - the 360 stands for degrees of ****.

actually Norton never flagged WoS up before the revamp though. only happened since this place came back/new forum, not sure why that would be.
glad it's nowt to worry aboot
