This morning I go to the trusty box and stare are the screen in dis-belief. There was a 'norton antivirus notification'.
It stated it found a virus. the name was 'hacktool.rootkit'. ( an old one of the past ) it said the virus was in the robotask sub-dir, in a file called 'idlehook.dll
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ quarantine succeeded....
Huh ? I don't believe norton. did it break my robotask ?

We know about this problem. We tried to contact Symantec team, but no results as yet.
Norton Antivirus locks and removes idlehook.dll.
This DLL is necessary for "On Idle" triggering event. When DLL is removed, "On Idle" can't work.
We'll keep trying to solve the problem

We have solved the problem with Norton Antivirus 2008.
Just download new version of IdleHook.dll here.
How to install:
1. Stop Robotask
2. Unpack DLL into RoboTask folder (by default "C:\Program Files\RoboTask\")
3. Start RoboTask.

No, we have fixed the problem. The corrected IdleHook.dll is included into new installation package.
