I will reiterate the words of the sole person running this website.
We test all files that come through here for any sort of malicious content, and are stringent and meticulous in our checks. There is no cause for alarm if your anti-virus picks up a false negative. It is most unfortunate if you do use norton because it will likely remove the file immediately, because it is a POS.
Don't worry, it's not a virus.

Clue : Don't use norton.
If you don't like the first option, you could try turning it off, then using the file. But that leaves you vulnerable to attack.

go for comodo and set the file as trusted then your free to use it and still be protected from other problems that could arise

Norton is the worst possible antivirus software

i just use panda cloud :P

This utility uses a keyboard intercept routine for the activation hot-keys that is often used in spyware so most anti-virus anti-malware programs will report it as a virus. It is safe an innocuous.

uninstall norton

Norton pretty much is a virus, it takes on the properties of the viruses in the vault over time. I dont know if they fixed that or not but yeah, any other program flags Norton as a virus itself.

Skynet.

use avast

The ironic thing is that they ship a 90 day trial with many new computers.

as far as free antivirus I definitely suggest either avg or avast

avg kinda went to crap since it now has a memory leak and rapes your cpu, but avast seems decent

seriously though, uninstall norton.

sorry bro just figured recommendations were wanted ease up

Microsoft Security Essentials
MalwareByte's AntiMalware
Spybot Search and Destroy

Is what I use. All run constantly, all the time. None interfere with my games.

Edit: Additionally I use Noscript and Adblock on Firefox, so that counts too.

he doesn't need it code. nobody needs to install anything.

Oh the guy who has donut's avatar is back.

apparently MSE is vulnerable to virus hijacking its components, like the last time. It for some reason borked and deleted one of my system folders that time.
Oh, and i trust that dennis wouldn't plant malware on our computers.....would he?

I know that. I was just saying what I use.

Naaa, I am just recording everything you are saying then when you go for your first important job interview it will all be available for your perspective employers to review... just like your facebook. myspace, xfire and twitter accounts. Doh!

Dennis is my excuse for not having a facebook page.

He dosen't have our school grades, blood tests, medical/dental records and criminal records yet.

Maybe not you guys, but what about me? I've been here over 4 years...

The key word here. The intrawebbz is taking over the world.

I don't want to be rudely suprised when dennis comes knocking at my door and turns out to be a hot chick.

LOL.
