Running saver prompts Norton to declare suspicious behavior - SONAR.Heuristic.138 #52

Running the saver on Windows 10 causes Norton to quarantine the saver .scr file on some computers. (1 of 2 in my office).

It's a false positive. It's taking a guess "based on certain attributes". Duplicate of #9 .

Which version are you running? Try the latest version. Virus scanners don't make this mistake with the latest version. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/954b4ac9e8661fdf6b9dc15947ac83689ab051ba0ca9535aa679b2d7deef9ef6/analysis/

I'm using version 3.1 of Aerial.

Note, the virustotal scan will always show as passed, Norton does too until you run the saver, then it deletes the file. So I think this is slightly different.

Norton should have a way to report false positives.
