If Norton antivirus is deleting the exe file then it could be a virus as well. Try uploading that file on <a href="http://www.virustotal.com" rel="ugc">www.virustotal.com</a>&nbsp;for a scan with other antiviruses as well to make sure that its not a false-positive.

I know this program is not a virus. I have written an exe that runs and creates a key in registry of my system. The key stores local database (SQL Server) ID and password. ID and password are encrypted.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I am basically a developer.<br />
<br />
Please suggest.

Allowing certain program

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
