I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this, but I'm very concerned with something I've noticed with Norton Internet Security for windows 7....

I was doing some openGL/SDL based coding in C++ (using the Bloodshed C++ compiler) and when I tried to compile and run my program, Norton stated that the application was a "risk" because "less than 10 people have used this program"... Well OF COURSE less then 10 people have used something I just compiled! But it deleted the compiled application anyway...

I decided to turn off "Norton Sonar scanner"... easy enough... but what worries me is if I upload anything new, will people with this form of internet protection not be able to run my work? I'm a tad confused... it felt a little "anti-developer" to me :confused:

Is this something I should be worried about?

Sometimes if you disable Norton Auto-Protect, and Insight scan it after you use it, it will class it as normal/safe. Otherwise just keep Norton Auto-Protect off and do what you're doing :)
