Update
--------
A client was so kind to add this for us, he was using Norton 2012
"Just in case anyone else gets this issue with Norton 2012, there were two areas that Norton blocks: botrun.exe and csc.exe. The botrun.exe problem can be resolved by creating an exclusion for Sonar for the folder that the the software executable file resides.
In addition to this, you need to make an exclusion in the anti-virus section for csc.exe. This isn't one of your files but it is the C Sharp Controller (from what I can gather). It appears to be called by your program and Norton parcels that up with botrun and quarantines it.
Everything is working fine now I have added both of those exclusions."
