I just noticed that Norton has the AutoHotkey.exe program listed as a Eavesdropping Threat Key Logger. Norton has it set on Block the program.

I don't know anything about this kind of stuff, what should I do? I can set Norton to Allow the program, dont understand what I would be allowing? I don't know how long Norton has had this set like this, I haven't noticed any problems in the last couple days, but I did have to reinstall Autohotkey a few days ago for no apparent reason. I just woke up and hopped the computer to do some work and when I tried to run any of my ahk's it all of a sudden didnt recognize them and asked my to choose a program from a list. I couldnt figure it out so I just unistalled then installed Autohotkey again, and all is working fine.

Any advice or this issue?

Do a fresh download from the AutoHotkey site, and reinstall. If Norton after that still complains, be so kind, and notify them about a "false positive".

I guess you just like being a prick, gl with that Guest.

Everything is working fine. But Norton still lists Autohotkey.exe as a keylogger that it wants to block. So apparently, Norton's block is not working or it only works once in awhile and Norton's block was the cause for my ahk not working last week. So there is a possibility that Norton will screw up ahk again sometime, I don't know. Do YOU?

thanks n-l-i-d,
i just did a fresh download, and ahk works at the moment. I will do another fresh download as soon as I get a chance and we'll see what happens. If still listed as blocked in Norton, i will send them an email. thanks for the advice.
