JoAnne,
I checked, and sure enough, Norton promptly removed the download, reporting a WS.REPUTATION.1 virus possibility, and that it was being submitted. I overrode it, and did a binary comparison with the one I downloaded a couple of months ago. Same file. When I scan the executable, it gives me a general message about there being several indications that it is untrustworthy, but that it has actually done nothing. I am guessing it is a false alarm, mostly because there are so few Norton users who have the program. Stay tuned.

I just posted about a virus issue with the file at http://www.arissattlm.org/download/ARISSatTLM_050_Setup.exe
Interesting. Norton Security Suite on WinXP and on another Windows 7 computer has no complaints. I just checked and it says Norton updated itself 8 minutes ago so the definitions are current.
What kind of virus were you warned about?
