Hello,
I'm a long time Emacs user and recently ran into a problem running Emacs 24.1.0.0 on a machine using Symantec's Endpoint Protection Software. The OS is Windows 7.
Executing:
..\emacs-24.1\bin\runemacs.exe
Results In:
Symantec Endpoint Protection Virus Detected!
Scan Type - Bloodhound.Sonar.9
Executable is quarantined and cannot be run.

I submitted a 'False Positive' report with Symantec and they issued a 'virus definition' file which resolved the problem BUT implied it is only valid for this particular version of emacs. An email from Symantec contained the following suggestion:
