newton1171 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) Unfortunately we are stuck with this as it is the "Corporate standard". We're about half way through a roll-out of a new application and now we're 'f'd as it were. Looking at Symantec's site it would appear that Jon can post a dispute at :https://submit.symantec.com/security_risks/dispute/and we can all hope it get's fixed. How long before other anti-virus providers block Autoit???UPDATE!I just used the latest BETA for my scripts and a quick test shows it working for my purposes. We've called Symantec about a fix for the other version as well.. What a PAIN! Edited September 20, 2006 by newton1171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 We have platinum support with Symantec. We submitted a false-positive report earlier this afternoon and are waiting on a response.... holding my breathI just had the same problem! I will contact our IT department but these things go very slowly in a big company like mine. I am also afraid that they may ban our use of AutoIt!I hope Jon can contact Symantec and get this sorted out. This would be as if they banned the Python interpreter because you can write malicious python scripts! :-(Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruge Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 One of our server engineers contacted our TAM and opened a support case. He's still on the phone with a rep (on hold), but the initial indication I got is that this will be fixed in tomorrow's definitions, 9/21/06 10:00am. (didn't think to ask about the timezone) Fingers crossed...

Bert Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Is it possible to put these files in a exception list in the anti virus software?
