I have Norton Security Center as a 90 day free trial that came with my new HP (loaded system from Newegg).  I will forgo it soon because I have a multiPC license from CA that will cover this box as well and it is just being renewed.  The problem has disappeared since I stopped interacting with that directory with the Vue downloads.  Luckily most of them were on my prior computer and I did not erase them, so I can rebuild that achive after I delete that directory.  
Thanks for the attention to this issue.
