This just started happening with a reload of Canary a few minutes ago, version:
18.0.973.0 canary
Canary loads, but when I try to load any URLs (or restore the last tabs loaded), NIS takes over and removes a dll.

They are labelling any new program as a Virus - with code WS.Reputation.1 This is the "latest" Norton "invention" (many call it scam) - if the program is newly released, they mark it as virus and delete it after download.
This is because they DO NOT have proper technology to discover if a file is a threat or not and they are just guessing. They have discovered that by simply lying to their customers by inventing threats they will continue to make money.
If they do not lie they will have to close Symantec because they have no valuable product to sell. Now they peddle WS.Reputation.1 just to stay in business.
Just get something free and better as Microsoft Security Essentials or free AVG.

Sounds like another Norton "invention" - what is actually Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP?
- I bet that they do not know anything about that file and just labeled it with Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP. They scare their customers and show some "useful" activity by labelling perfecty good programs as Viruses using fake virus like names like Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP or WS.Reputation.1 This are not viruses, but names invented by Norton to scare people and mask their inability to tell good from bad files.
It seems that Norton have become a dangerous virus on its own - the program disrupts the normal computer functions in order to benefit its corporate creators - this is exactly what the viruses do.
They have hired some smooth talkers on this forum here to tell you this and that but the truth is Norton software spreads viruses and disables perfectly good programs just so Symantec makes money. The corporate greed makes them cheat people who had the bad chance to get the Norton program (teher are better free programs like AVG). I for one got rid of it and now my computer runs much faster.They also prey on your private information and add you to endless e-mail lists so they spam you for years to come. Get rid of Norton and see how fast your computer actually is.
ok, let see ... I am willing to bet your problem will not be solved here. Get ready to hear a lot of nonsense and no real help. But hey, you got Norton and that is what you get - nothing.
This is what I had to do within NAV while testing chromium:
I clicked Settings > Antivirus and Sonar Exclusions > Items to exclude from scans > Configure. In here I added the file ppGoogleNaClPluginChrome.dll, that's the one on which NAV stumbles.
Next, I then clicked Settings > Antivirus and Sonar Exclusions > Items to exclude from Auto-Protect,SONAR and Download Intelligence Detection > Configure. In here too I added the file ppGoogleNaClPluginChrome.dll.
Next, I did a quick scan, nothing was found; I then did a right click on demand scan on the folder in which the file mentioned above resides, nothing was detected and/or removed.
So the problem seems to be solved, but it's a workaround. While scanning I was thinking: it's just this one file on which NAV stumbles every time but I think I can understand why: it's checksum gets changed every time a new build gets released, so I think it is almost impossible for NAV to not detect it as being "bad". Unless the file would be getting whitelisted.
The workaround above worked splendidly for me. I know it's not a solution, but if it works for you too?
