Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Rel. 3.6.1 and Norton AntiVirus

Hi :)
Yes, as other people are saying (with varying degrees of paranoia) antiviruses do have a lot of 
false positives.  It's like having a guard dog and then grumbling because it barks.  

A better course is to congratulate it on succesfully blocking something from installing (ie doing 
it's job) and then switch it off, do the install and then switch it on again.   

As 1 person said it's wise to unplug the network cable or switch off your router (if at home) so 
that you have no internet connection while the antivirus is off but at that level of paranoia i 
would recommend just not using Windows in the first place.  With Windows you just have to accept 
that your system is not secure [shrugs] and that to some extent you are always going to have to 
just trust to luck.  It's wise to minimise that where it's reasonably possible.  Unplugging a 
network cable might not be easy but if it is then it's worth doing.  

People say that Windows is easier but then forget that they have to struggle through this sort of 
thing.  Other systems have different struggles.

Tom :)
