Norton thinks that the pokemon lancher download is a unsafe

[DineyDee]

I dont know where to post this so sorry if I posted it in the wrong place but last week I had to restart my computer And lost Pokemon so I came to redownload it but my internet Security was restarted to so I download it and norton removes it I have turned off norton and havent downloaded it yet but I think you might want to know that to norton internet security thinks pokémon3D is unsafe

Yeah....Norton tends to not like downloads from indie games and free programs and such
We havent put anything harmful in the download files but the fact that we use a program, to download another program along with other files, and then move those files to a specified location..........I can see why Norton(known for being over sensative :/) would not like it
I will now take the time to open up the topic of any other Anti-Virus/fire wall program you can get(anybody else who sees this should suggest something too.......)
I use Eset atm(because when I got my laptop I got it as part of a support package for three years) It is pretty good and i have only gotten a false positive from when I was trying to find free versions of the adobe software so

Norton is trash. It's expensive, takes up a lot of your cpu usage and gets really annoying when it expires or they want you to update it. It's ok for everyday browsing but in the event you do get a virus that's smart enough to get under your antivirus, it's probably not gonna be able to fix it. Get Malwarebytes, best ever,

Avast is an excellent alternative.

We cant really seem to tell that this game is a virus infact many has downloaded this game so there should be a bunch of report in this thread about the virus and this shall be shutdown immediately so there is no worries for you and still for me its no virus

Avast or Eset are the best really, and any program which can download information or upload information that is not an Official product in most cases will trigger an alarm on the PC , But hey, better safe than sorry

I have norton, i usually tell it to shut up (shut off smart firewall and turn on Silent Mode) and download files i know that are safe, you have nothing at all to worry about. *Norton is like that about a lot of things*
