Norton 2007 automatically deleting uT!?

Norton is showing utorrent as bloodhound.SONAR.1, which symantec defines as -Bloodhound.SONAR.1 is used exclusively by Symantec antivirus products when a potentially unknown risk is found using Symantec Bloodhound technology - which basically sounds like anything it can't figure out gets shunted to this. So in the middle of a download norton will automatically delete utorrent from my system, is there anyway around this??

PS. I know Norton sucks and I know I should get AVG :)

You know you should... so why aren't you? >_>

It's Norton's stupid heuristics engine at work "detecting" random packed executables (PECompact'd in µTorrent's case) as malicious. If you can't find some way to make an exception for µTorrent's executable and/or its containing directory, then there isn't much you can really do about it besides ditching the (worthless :|) thing.
