Issue abstract:

When attempting to load an application “Play Your Damn Turn” (a hotseat computer gaming application), I receive a message from Norton stating that “IDP.HELU.PSE45 - command line detection” has infected powershell.exe and Norton’s Behavior features refuses to allow the program to run.

Detailed description: See below images. Need to resolve the issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Google searches did not reveal this file as being a threat, even though Norton says it is 8 months old. I would like to get this resolved without bypassing virus protection, as my laptop has too much sensitive information it for me to take the risk.

This is also happening to me now. Any update?

All: Since this game is played by passing saved files around there is no wonder this is being detected. Files can be edited then downloaded by others to their devices and walla!! What an avenue to infect. Norton did stop the powershell infection and removed the offending file as it should. That being said if you have the file still around I would submit it to VirusTotal for them to review.
