NAV Sonar Identifies OED (Oxford English Dictionary) 3.1 as Security Threat

My wife has been using the Oxford English Dictionary 3.1 on CD for years.  Now that we've installed NAV 2010 its Sonar feature incorrectly identifies the OED as a security threat and removes ~crf1519.tmp (the numbers vary).  It claims there are few users reporting this file, and that it is a high security risk.  This may be part of the process OED uses to verify you have the data disk.  At any rate, the only way she can use OED is to disable Sonar.

 

Is there another way to avoid this problem?

 

Is Symantec likely to fix NAV so this won't keep happening?

 

Thanks!

Thanks.  I'd been looking for a place to report this.

 

Yes, OED has been on the computer for some time, and we've never had a problem with previous Norton products.

Okay - I hope Symantec whitelists OED soon :slight_smile:
