  • Symantec detected Spotify as Trojan Horse

    Man, something funny happened at work today.

    Norton Internet Security gave me an alert about a high priorty trojan tried to gain access to my machine and it did a good job in blocking.

    It was about that time when I thought, "not listened to any music today" so tried to load up Spotify. Clicking a button, Windows ask me to Search for the Spotify exe and I was like "huh, I've not removed it!!!!"

    Went to Spotify's website and tried to download again, Norton rejected the installation, which then hit me as to how Spotify was removed.

    Anyway, it seems that the problem is solved, I did an "run LiveUpdate" which downloads a new patch.
