Paul,
You said,
Am I correct in guessing that the antivirus software is Norton 360 or one of the other Symantec/Norton variations. My Celestial Tools program has also been blocked by Norton. Norton uses what they call a "heuristic algorithm", which seems to mean that if it does not recognize a program, it considers it a virus. I have tried several times to get Celestial Tools put on the Symantec/Norton white list, but they do not seem to have any interest in programs with a small user base. Fortunately there are ways Norton users can put blocked programs on their personal white lists.
I would appreciate any feedback regarding success or failure in getting the program to run. Include your Windows version. One user with ver. 7 reports his antivirus software blocks the lunar program for an unknown reason.
