P3 Utility (Windows Version 1.3.7.22)

Hello Elecrafters,

I have been trying unsuccessfully to install the P3 Utility (Windows Version 1.3.7.22). My virus protection program, Norton 360, will not allow it. Norton pops up a message that a serious security breach has occurred. Then I'm asked to restart my computer.

I tried the install a couple of times on each of two different computers, one running Windows XP, and the other running Vista. The results were exactly the same.

I know, I know, turn off the Norton 360. But hold on a minute, Norton 360 is just doing its job Something is wrong with the way the latest P3 Utility is coded. Norton 360 has never before objected to any program installations on these computers, including several versions of the K3 Utility.

I am hoping that the programmer of the P3 Utility reads this and fixes the problem with the code.

I have received notification that my P3 is about to be shipped, so I need the Utility to be working on my computer soon.

Many thanks and 73,

John, W2GW

Re: P3 Utility (Windows Version 1.3.7.22)

John,

There is no problem with the Elecraft code in that respect. The problem lies entirely
with Norton, and what is needed is for you to report a false positive to Norton.

Norton is not regarded as one of the better AV products. I'd recommend you go to the
Norton site and get the instructions to remove it, and get another AV. Two that are
currently highly regarded are AVG and Avast, both free.

I say this from the perspective of one who wrote software installs and software
professionally for a number of years.

73, Mike NF4L

In reply to this post by John E. Reiser

I'm the programmer of the Windows P3 Utility. It was virus scanned before it was offered on the Elecraft web site. Yours is the first report of any virus report. Assuming you got the P3 Utility from the Elecraft FTP site or Elecraft web site then you are trying to install what I wrote.

I don't have Norton Antivirus (earlier experiences led me away from it) but there are web sites that will scan a suspicious executable with a good number of virus detection tools. Perhaps one of those would help you decide who to trust here. I could find one, but from a trust standpoint it would be better for you to find it yourself or from someone else.

I don't know what i could change to satisfy your Norton software.

I can tell you that the P3 Utility includes an FTP client, and in order to do its intended function, it must be allowed to contact the Elecraft FTP site in order to copy P3 firmware from Elecraft's FTP server to your computer. All the Elecraft Utilities (K3, W2, K144XV and P3) include thus function.

Norton AV is worse than a virus. Just try getting rid of it!

This is my first contribution to this list, however I have been long time "silent" reader of all the posts. This time I decided to reply as an IT Professional I have developed strong " allergy " against Norton product line.

I do run my own successful business here, providing professional IT business services to a lot of different companies. One, very unpleasant thing I have to always deal with is "Norton". We have setup a rule here - not to help anybody if they run any kind of Norton antivirus software on their computers. We actually consider Norton as one of the biggest viruses out there.

I have to defend Elecraft position here by saying that there is nothing wrong with their P3 Utility, but there is everything wrong with Norton! And yes, before you start to "hammer" me here, I do know lots of happy Norton users, but I also know many of them which are now even happier with different product.

John, if you want to do something good to your PC, get rid of your Norton, you will be surprised with the extra speed released from your computer and you will also get much better protection than Norton can give you with different software.

Elecraft software products are rock solid, and yes, I do use them on PC, Mac as well as Linux.

Good luck.

Re: P3 Utility (Windows Version 1.3.7.22)

I have used AVG Professional on my 3 computers for over 12 years and have
never had a virus problem. AVG stops everything cold. There are others
just as good but why switch if it's not broken. Agree on Norton as that's
what I came from before AVG. Nothing but problems.

Re: P3 Utility (Windows Version 1.3.7.22)

I bought a new laptop that came with Norton's and when the one year
free trial was over it took a lot of pain and suffering to get rid of
Norton. Have been with AVG every since and couldn't be happier.

As a 20 year veteran IT Director it is my opinion that the Norton product is
source of the fault.

John,

I would suggest you ditch the Norton AV - it used to be a good AV
program, but has fallen way behind others that are available, many for free.
I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials with great success, and
used the free AVG anti-virus before that, no problem with either one,
but I believe the MS Security Essentials is actually better, and less
intrusive about doing updates.

Aloha Elecraft:
Thanks again for fantastic piece of equipment. Best ever.

Since the K3 is basically an SDR, with knobs, would it be possible to add DRM to the Modes? Lots of us do listen as SWL's. DRM would be a great addition....and I may be wrong, But I think it would be only software.

In reply to this post by John E. Reiser

Many years ago I ran Norton AV on one of my computers and had a devil
of a time uninstalling it when it became a problem. We now run
AVG9.0 on all four of our faster computers and nothing on the win95
p100 and p90 which are not connected to the Internet (one is shelved
and the other runs two dedicated programs: CWKEY and Packet).

AVG asks if I want to connect or download when using the K3
utility. Simple to give it permission.

doing) is just not viable.
