installed Nortons can't access swordfish

[MrDEB]

recently installed Nortons and now find I get a warning about the Swordfish - Modular BASIC for PIC® Microcontrollers
anyone else have same issue??

anyone else have same issue??

Nope, but I don't use Norton.
Maybe there is some permission setting in Norton, which allows Swordfish to be excluded from being detected as a false-positive?

I also don't use Norton's so I can't add anything.

I avoid all virus software and just use windows defender. All the other virus software seems to be more like ransonware.

On the swordfish forum there is a thread about this... Norton has to allow access... Norton settings ( somewhere ) I don't use Norton, but there will be a section to block apps and one for exceptions...

 

[MrDEB]

I was getting lots if pop up adds etc.

Norton just taking your money.

I'm with Mike It's more like ransonware.

Ditch Norton, Windows defender is free I no you'll like that.
and it works way better, Norton slows your computer down
Windows defender doesn't.

And as matter of fact I just got a laptop for work
it had Norton on it you have to tell it to let Swordfish run
I did I uninstalled Norton and told it to use Windows Defender
I been using it on window a long time I've been on windows insider a long time.

So Ditch Norton it's money for nothing and Life isn't Free I go to work every day LOL
