Norton finds this as a malicious error and request not to run the script. Is this a common problem? Is it ok to accept it. I was told to turn off HP Organizer. What does the organizer do. Thanks.

explains what HP Organize does. Appears this is a false detection so you might want to send the file to Norton and explain what is going on. If the properties of the files show it belongs to Compaq or HP then you can let it run if you have any use for the Hp Organize.
How do I send an email to Norton tell them that nda.exe is the script for HP Organizer? Since HP Organizer isn't harmful, I assume it's okay to choose the option to allow it to run. Thanks!
So if we want to use our HP Organizer, then we have to allow the nda.exe malicious script?...I'm leery about letting it run if Norton recognizes it as something malicious...Has anyone had this problem and allowed it to run?
ok nda.exe, really doesnt matter, HP Organizer is a terrible program, its a resource hog and in reality does absolutely nothing, just do it yourself and you can find the programs, or documents you need.
Reading it over, this site says that some malware may camouflague itself as nda particularly if it is found in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32. The site makes no mention of HP or Compaq (or Digital) but does mention Nda Module and Neo Planet. This would explain why Norton believes Nda.exe is malicious.
The situation is not clear though. Is it okay or not? False hit or threat? A little web searching turns up some circumstantial evidence linking nda.exe to HP/Compaq and Neo Planet so it looks like the same software mentioned in the link above.
Norton mentions Nda.exe specifically and gives instructions on what to do:
My suggestion? If you have a copy of the install media, remove the organiser and be sure to get rid of nda.exe, backing up your data before you do so. Re-install a clean copy of the organiser to ensure what you've got is the real deal. When Norton complains, follow Symantec's instructions for dealing with the problem.
