    Norton "Malicious Script" Alert from fsoCopyFolder

    My app is using a FileSystemObject CopyFolder to move some files. Nothing system related, just from app.path to a user designated folder.Works great!. In testing however, a couple users have found that Norton 2002 (antivirus and Internet Security) stops the app with a huge "Malicious Script" alert box just when the CopyFolder is triggered.
    No other fso functions seem to do it...just the CopyFolder.

    Has anyone else experienced this? Any workarounds....or a better way to copy a folder other than fso?

    Thanks.

    p.s. Good to see vbforums back up...even if things are a bit shaky.

    Try using the equivalent API functions and see if they produce the same result...

    thanks nemaroller
    I'll try it. I may try some recursive file-by-file copy as well.....see which is easiest.
    Anyone else have any thoughts?
