MiKTeX update destroyed by Norton 360 SONAR control

Dear all,

I have MiKTeX 2.9 (under Windows Vista) installed. Today, on May 1, I 
launched MiKTeX Update (Admin); the program copystart_admin.exe found a 
lot of updateable packages but initially chose to update only the 
package miktex-bin, and to remove the package unicode as obsolete. I let 
the program to do so, and seemingly all was O.K. Then I went through 
Maintenance(Admin) -> Settings(Admin), "Refresh FNDB" and "Update 
formats", and after that launched Update (Admin) for the second time, in 
order to update the rest packages. But my Norton 360 SONAR control 
immediately ceased this process and removed copystart_admin.exe from my 
hard disk, with the announcement that copystart_admin.exe has commited 
suspicious activity! I tried to launch the main menu item 
MiKTeX->Maintenance->Update (i.e. the program copystart.exe), and the 
result was the same - Norton 360 SONAR removed copystart.exe from the 
hard disk, with the same announcement written with boldface red letters.

I have both Norton 360 and MiKTeX 2.9 for long time already, the MiKTeX 
update is a procedure I have done once each week, and until now there 
were no problems. Moreover, this is the first occasion in my practice 
when Norton 360 SONAR acts somehow. Maybe somebody can tell me something 
about the situation.
