Status: offline 		Greetings all,

Was downloading the new patch and my Norton 360 went into a slow motion action hero moment and said "Nnnnooooooooo" and knocked the patch out of my greedy hands. I find it odd because the description of this threat was reports from the community. Anyone else seen this happen?

Paranoid antivirus software if ever I seen one.

Using Norton is about as much fun as unanaesthetised bowel surgery.

Status: offline 		I am sorry; I do not have the same opinion about Norton; I personally like it over others... My opinion, not countering anyone elses dislike...
And I set mine for maximim hueristics...

ANYWAY:
Set your anti-virus to ask you what you want to do with a file.
It always sends up a red-alert claxon when I download from Matrix because of the small number of downloads to say a DW patch.
So when it asks, I tell it to accept and then it usually says, 'file ok' after a couple of minutes.

It is the small number of downloads that is triggering Norton; if you have it ask you, you can override.

I wouldn't say 'ever'. It was pretty good in 1996. ;)
