I found the file here:
URL removed!
It was all that turned up on my Google search. Well, at least all that wasn't outright torrent related from what I could tell. If the above is in fact a link to anything torrent related please delete it and realize I didn't post it knowing so! I am just hunting for a (legitimate) no-cd exe!
I know Norton will frequently freak out when it shouldn't, but in the past I have always been able to override it and get on with business, just not with this particular file. In fact I am not even given an option: Norton/Sonar deletes the thing even if I pick the "run anyway" option. I currently have Norton 2010 and I think Sonar is one of it's applications...but again, it's never been something I couldn't override before. (I've still got several months left on my stupid subscription so I hate to ditch it yet...but may have to if it keeps this up!)
I have just downloaded/ran Protection ID and it reports that
Safedisc v4.90.010 is the protection in place for the two exe files and one dll being the "possible" CD/DVD serial code check.
