I don't know if this is the right place but I thought I should report this as I may not be the only person it's hit.  I support a DNN 5.6.3 site and maintain a test copy on my Win7 Ultimate (64-bit) laptop, on which I run SQL Server 2008 R2, IIS 7, and .NET framework 4.  Today I tried to reload my test from a recent production backup and got this error:

Server Error in '/osc' Application.

Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT:0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

Description: An unhandled exception occurredduring the execution of the current web request. Please review thestack trace for more information about the error and where itoriginated in the code.

Exception Details:System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

I also got the following stack trace (excerpt):

Stack Trace:

[FileLoadException: Could not load file orassembly 'Inventua.DNN.Shared, Version=3.0.3.10, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. Access is denied.]

Now, I run 2 Inventua products, but while I was researching the problem, I saw a popup from my Norton Internet Security, informing me that it had REMOVED Inventua.DNN.Shared.dll because it was infected!  Here's the top of the Norton announcement:

I've filed this same announcement on the Inventua forums, and asked where I can download a clean copy of the DLL.  Meanwhile I can't even work on my production site from the laptop without the DLL, the menus don't work properly.  What bothers me is that this thing looks like it's part of .NET.

Right, I ran the notice past the Inventua forum and it's just Norton Internet Security being over-zealous.  They did the same thing to the DLL for P. H. Dobson's Bulk User Manager, too, I had to pull that out of quarantine before I could bring the site up.  Sorry for the false alarm, but maybe it'll inform someone else.

I've been meaning for some time to uninstall that thing and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes, and this is just another incentive.
