That is a bad bug. Why don't you report it to them ? And, what about 
trying AVG ?

I personally use Norton, but I've used AVG when I've needed a free 
anti-virus program for a computer.

This discussion isn't really about native api stuff, so I think that 
we'd better move to non-technical. Follow-up set accordingly.
