I’ve just installed 2.0 at my computer and I am getting a strong warning 
from Norton AV about “asget.exe” and “update-cash” (Norton removes them as 
threats).  Please advice on these [alleged] threats.  Does Alaska use/create 
these files?  Should I ignore these threats?

Many thanks,

-Itai

asget.exe is the Alaska Software Update Tool. But it has no virus. I 
think that AV uses a too harsh heuristic scan or something else. I also 
had problems with my virus scanner that told me some time ago my Xbase++ 
exe's bear a virus. Allways false alarm.

Thanks!
I'll exclude this file from the scan.

There is a feature of Norton AV that identifies my apps built with Xbase++ as 
threats and that deletes the exe files without asking. This feature can be 
turned off.  I think that Norton sees these as threats because of the run time 
compile capability.
