I have experienced this problem on computers running both Win 7 and Win 10. When I try to compile using codeblocks and the GNU gcc compiler I get a Norton pop up window that states: "Auto-protect has removed security risk SAPE-Heur.2e5e your computer is now secure". This causes the compile to be voided and will not build the program.
Is this a known issue with Codeblocks? I do not have the same problem with the latest version of DevC but I would like to use Codeblocks to follow Chapeter 20 in Jumping into C++.
Also, I have tried logging in to the Codeblocks user forum and, using one email address got no response to my sign in and with another address I got an email saying that they would be in touch with a validation email but I didn't ever hear from them again. This was weeks ago. Is the forum still viable?
