Yet another reason to hate Norton

Once again, Norton AntiVirus gives me another reason to hate it.

Well, to be fair to Norton I don't know why this Payroll program was trying to write stuff to a Symantec directory, but even still it annoyed me.

I was working at a client that runs a retirement home. They were trying to install some payroll software from ADT or something like that (I think that's an alarm company, I'm not sure exactly what the name was) Anyway, the InstallShield would fail each time with Error 115. For some odd reason the install was trying to write something to the virusdef folder (I think it was actually a Symantec sub-component) and simply wouldn't work.

Nothing I did made it function, until of course, I uninstalled the AV and then everything went dandy.

That ALWAYS seems to be the fix for any Norton AV problem. Uninstall it.
