Norton is blocking my own .exe file which I compile from Visual Studio. I have excluded the .exe and the top folder (include subfolders is checked) where my source code resides. The folders are excluded from 'items to exclude from scans' and ' Items to exclude from Auto protect..'. settings. The security history shows that the .exe files is excluded. It seems Norton thinks my .exe is changing the attributes of some file. Shown in the Target section? I don't what this is about. I even exlcuded the ReportArchive folder as a test.
I also disabled AutoProtect for 15 minutes.
Norton keeps blocking my executable.
Have you excluded the .exe process with Data Protector => Process Exclusions? [pic here], as test.
Disable Auto-Protect &or Disable Smart Firewall does not turn off Intrusion Protection, Browser Protection, Data Protector, Exploit Prevention, SafeCam, AntiSpam
