I feel its unlikely that my comment alone is going to solve the issue (if the note was sent and if the Norton Development Team pays any attention to it). Someone from Tor Project needs to be working with Norton to resolve this. I restarted my Norton Antivirus after I was done and am again blocked from using Tor Browser. I could then delete and download Tor Browser again - and it worked. Through trial and error I found I needed to reboot the computer for that to become effective. I called Norton, and after discussion they said that they could suspend the license for the computer I was currently using in on (my desktop) - which would disable it until I resigned in (they also said they would pass my comment on to the developers about that Tor Browser is not a Trojan). Norton 360 Antivirus does not have an option in its control panel to add a program to a safe list, nor does it have an option to turn it off. Same Norton Antivirus result when Tor Browser auto started at the end of the installation. I tried deleting Tor Browser files from the Desktop, and reinstalling Tor.

I did this on 2 different computers (desktop and laptop) with the exact same results.

Tor Browser was stuck on the “Establishing a Connection” page. Last night when starting Tor I received a “Norton Pop up” saying: “Auto-protect is processing security risk Trojan Horse”Ī few minutes later I received another pop-up saying: 'We removed security risk Trojan Horse.
