Norton's SONAR protection doesn't like version 2.1.18. It immediately blocks and quarantines the file complaining of suspicious activity. At the moment I can't trust Huggle at all, because version 17 is doing crazy updates and version 18 isn't liked by Norton.

Could you tell me if it happens with older versions too? I assume so, according to virustotal.com it's clean

It looks as though Norton's SONAR knows there is a link to previous versions, and in my case starting with my original Huggle 2.1.15, which it says is the source file. Then I managed to update all the way to 2.1.17 without any problems, but come 2.1.18 (the third update) it's decided this is suspicious activity. I stopped using 2.1.17 when an incident occurred of it reverting a reverter and blanked several pages in the process.

It looks harmless enough from what SONAR said it was doing to the system: Source File:
huggle 2.1.15.exe
File Created:
huggle 2.1.16.exe
File Created:
huggle 2.1.17.exe
File Created:
huggle 2.1.18.exe

No action taken
Event: Process start (Performed by c:\...\huggle 2.1.18.exe, PID:5032)
No action taken

I am going to break this chain and try again having removed the file from quarantine. Nasnema.

OK, let me know if you had more troubles with that, otherwise I consider this as sorted out

I couldn't get SONAR to forget anything so I'll have to wait for a new version and ensure that it is a direct download. Maybe I'll wait for version 3.
