Hi!
Using Norton Antivirus 2010 version 17.5.0.127 installed on Windows XP SP3, i found the following issue:
all packed excutables are automaticaly become "infected" and being deleted by Norton Antivirus.
How to reproduce:
1. Take notepad.exe from c:\windows\system32 folder.
2. Pack it with the UPX or any other well known executable packer.
Norton Antivirus will delete the packed file without a prompt.
Since I'm professional software developer i need to pack my executables sometimes.
And now I have to use an older version of Norton Antivirus that seems to be a security risk for me.
What else can i do?
