JS error when swfobject used on page viewed with certain Norton products are running on the client system

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use swfobject on a page
2. view the page with certain versions of Norton AV/popup blocker installed
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The code:
document.write("<script....") 

is caught by Norton and replaced with some stuff they use to do popup 
blocking.  Whatever they do causes browser errors.  

That's why many of the popular opensource JS libraries (like Dojo, etc) do 
this instead, to prevent Norton from messing with the tag:

document.write("<scr"+"ipt....")

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.0 rc1, WinXP SP2, IE7, Norton AV 2007

Please provide any additional information below.
