I'm working on a website that simply creates a screensaver out of some pictures, and creates an installation package (ie. setup.exe) that will install the screensaver. The only thing this installer does is copy a .scr to Windows and creates a folder under Program Files.
I understand that Norton may possibly be deleting the exe because it may consider the .scr a threat. But why doesn't it do it with other screensaver packages? I downloaded a screensaver from freesaver.com, and it didn't complain.
The one I downloaded should be the one blocked since it includes toolbars, adware, and God knows what other stuff. Mine only has a .scr that it copies to Windows.
I'm including a sample .exe (I renamed to txt) that Norton erases as soon as it downloads it. It apparently is finding a "threat" somewhere. As you will see, this has nothing dangerous. This screensaver only has one image!

Thanks.
