Norton Anti-Virus is recognizing your mod as a threat? #1055
Comments
It's a false positive. All of the code is open source, if you want to check it out yourself. Otherwise you'll have to trust me and all the other people that have looked over the source code. Not really much I can do about false positives. |
Additionally, the detection isn't even a threat. 'WS.Reputation.1' is not a virus. To quote Symantec themselves: 'WS.Reputation.1 is a detection for files that have a low reputation score based on analyzing data from Symantec’s community of users and therefore are likely to be security risks'. Considering your link, it's basically saying 'I don't like this file. I'm going to flip the fuck out and say it's a threat and automatically remove it.' |
Yeah its not the trust issue its just me bringing it to your attention that it happens.. sorry for the inconvenience and sorry if i offended anyone. |
Oh, no worries, if anything, you offended your computer for running Norton on it ;-) Seriously, though, I don't know what I could do to avoid this. If there's anyway in the software for you to report it as trusted, that might help. Otherwise, it is what it is. Still, good to know, in case others run into this. |
It's Norton, what do you expect? |
You won't have any problems with any proper antivirus software. That's the thing. |
