Hi all,
 
Over the last several days, I have had some weird things going on with SatPC32.  I am wondering if anyone else is having similar problems.
 
The first case is when I tried to run SatPC32 on my tower computer.  I immediately had Norton block the program and quarantine the executable.  I run that program all the time, so this was a surprise. Of course now if I try to run the program it says it can not find the program.  Then Norton asked if I wanted the file sent off to Norton for analysis.  I have done that but I have not received any indication as to what was found (actually don't know if I will get something back).  The SatPC32ISS version works.  I did contact Erich and he is indicating that he knows of no problems.

Then I decided a better check my one laptop that I use for all of my ARISS contacts.  SatPC32 ran just fine there; at least for now.  But the version I have on the laptop is not the latest.  When I went to download the latest version zip file, Norton then gave me this error message:
 
 
That's weird I thought.  So tried 2 other computers and got the same error message.
 
I do have a copy of the zip file for V 12.10 on my tower computer so I should be able to get that over to the other computers but now I am worried as to what exactly is going on.  Is there a problem on my computers?  A Norton update that I didn't really know about that maybe adjusted some setting used for downloading?  Is SatPC32 actually under attack some how?  Do I need to remove the program and re-install it?  I really am at a loss.
 
Has anyone had either of these issues recently?  If so, what was the fix?
 
Thanks for the help.
