    Update and Norton 2010

    If you try and open WoW today, there will an updating of the tools. If you have Norton Security Suite, SONAR will make a false-positive on one of the files in the download and halt the update.


    I figured I'd make a post for anyone with the same problem and here is my solution:

    1. Open Norton.
    2. Right Click the button on the task bar.
    3. Click "Disable Auto-Antivirus Protection."
    4. Under the "PC Security" in your Norton Interface, it should be red and screaming at you to fix something. Open it (Clicking View Details) and make sure, "SONAR Advanced Protection" is Red and Disabled.
    5. Open WoW and the update should go through.
    6. Open Norton again and just click the "Fix Now" button and Norton will automatically re-enable the "Auto-Antivirus Protection." (If you wish to do this, I would recommend to do so, cause if you don't wants the point of Nortion? ... Even tho it is rubbish at times.)
    7. Game



    Hope this helps, maybe the problem was only with me, but maybe not.

    Cheers!

    i got something like that with AVG antirus, and had a doubt, so i suppose it's a false alert
