This really isn't an eJ bug so I am posting in general discussion. I have Norton Internet Security 2011. It has a part called Sonar which looks at
files and flags them if they haven't been reported to the databse, in otherwords a file so new it could be a virus. It keeps deleting ejukebox.exe.
It would be funny except I can't stop it. I know it is my problem, but I thought that if anyone new tried eJ and had this package (and they almost
give it away with rebates), they couldn't make it work.
I turned off the sonar and I can install ej, but when sonar reactivates itself it deletes the .exe again. Maybe there is a deal with Symantec where
you register your new .exes or something.
Just a heads up.

Thanks for letting me know Don!
I found this http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/sonar-detects-our-protected-application-high-security-risk
and this form...https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/
you may want to take a look. i filled it out but had to invent the details because i am not sure what exactly happens. if it deletes ejukebox.exe when
you install ejukebox, run it or when sonar is doing a system scan?

More. It just won't let me run eJ!
Norton Internet Security 2011 have an exception list for trusted programs until you can resolve your issue with Symantec?
Go to Settings > Computer Settings > Exclusions > Signature Exclusions > Configure
Then ADD, scroll list to find ProduKey and add it to the exceptions.
I found the area to Exclude it, but it no longer seems to be a problem. I guess enough folks have tried it that Norton no longer considers it a
threat. I will save this for the next update though
Thanks again
Don
Got this back from Symantec!

We are writing in relation to your submission through Symantec's on-line
Security Risk / False Positive Dispute Submission form for your software
being detected by Symantec Software. In light of further investigation
and analysis Symantec is happy to remove this detection from within its
products.
The updated detection will be distributed in the next set of virus
definitions, available daily, or weekly via LiveUpdate, depending on
Symantec product version
For sure, it was Symantec causing this. I turned it off for testing purposes and installed this. Turned it back on and no issues after that.
