Hi Ad:
We scan the installer files with Norton & Kaspersky prior to releasing them to the public.
I installed MIPro 2100 b205 on a machine that has Norton 360 running on it (after getting latest Norton updates) then ran MIPro first time on this machine. Norton seems to scan the files as they are being extracted as well, so if there is something in there, it should find it beforehand if effective.
Only thing I got running MIPro first time after install was a warning from Norton is that MapInfoPro.exe is not digitally signed (which it isn't) and it allowed me to proceed. Nothing further after that.
If you have some Norton log files that inform us what exactly Norton thinks is a suspicious activity that would be most helpful. It may be the process that MIPro does on first use to get latest RSS feed, or update the MarketPlace tool client perhaps? Norton should tell you somehow what it thinks this 'suspicious' activity is. This is most likely a false positive and Norton has to 'learn' abut MapInfoPro being used so it no longer flags it as suspicious.
Regards,
-Bill

Subject: Suspicious action by Mapinfo.exe
Since recently (build 205) Norton 360 informs me of the above action, when I start up the program.
Norton blocks the action.
What is the action and what should I do to stop the message.
