Escape key misbehaving

(cross posted)

Normally when using AutoCAD, escape terminates a command.
Yesterday I installed Norton Antivirus. Since the install, the escape
key now switches me from program to program, outside of AutoCAD
when I have and AutoCAD drawing open.
How do I get my escape key to function as it should?

I appreciate any help, this is very frustrating!
Thanks,

Obviously Norton is the culprit. Don't ever use anything Norton or suffer
the consequences.

 

Norton doesn't affect any of my 3 computers, it doesn't affect my sisters
computer, It doesn't affect any of my 3 brothers computers- one brother has
2 computers networked, it doesn't affect my brother-in-laws computer, then
there are my friends- guess what? It doesn't affect their
computers..............

Maybe it is you and your setup that is your problem, not Norton.

 

The <escape> key is simply <acting out> - responding to abuse, because you
keep hitting it!

 

I get the Escape key acting like ALT+TAB too sometimes while downloading
stuff and using the magnificently written yEnc32 (irony) to decode it with
other programs in the background. OE hangs or slows down on "Searching for
Hyperlinks" and this, and a few other things then start going wrong.

Usually, closing the folder I use to for yEnc decoding, which is on the
Desktop, cures the problem. Other times I have to close the lot or even
reboot.

Sort that one out!

PS: If the twits posting in yEnc used it properly and posted attached *.ntx
files instead of dumping the data straight into the body of the message,
this wouldn't happen. Grrrrrrrrr!
