I have this program installed in my pc that uses SOSGENERALCONTROLS.OCX. But during one of the regular virus scan, this system file SOSGENERALCONTROLS.OCX was actually deleted without any warning. Since then, i am able to run this program. Even when i reinstall, it will encounter program unable to rename this installation file also. 
The only solution i have is to uninstall symantec anti-virus, delete the registry, then i be able to install back my program successfully.
Any experts out there to solve my problem? thanks.

What is the program that you

What is the program that you are trying to run? What version of Norton are you running?

You can submit this file to SYmantec for analysis at http://www.symantec.com/business/security_response...

If the file is clean then you can submit a false positive at https://submit.symantec.com/dispute/false_positive/

You should post your Norton Issue in the Norton Community site as well.

Best,
Thomas
