Hello,

Several users have reported the same error with the "blindman.exe" file.
This is a false positive by Norton AntiVirus.
(A false positive occurs when the scanning reports a threat when in fact there is no threat present)
The problem occurred in Nortons update on the 30 May 2007 rev.020 Intelligence Update and LiveUpdate definitions,
and was fixed as soon as it was brought to Nortons attention.

The fix was made available in LiveUpdate and Intelligent Updater virus definitions, specifically version 90530ao (Sequence number: 69179; extended version 05/30/2007 rev.041).

The file blindman.exe file is completely harmless, as you can see on:
