High Resolution FFVII PC (trouble with Norton... WTF?!!)

[Ragna]

Yeah, I don't even know where to post this, but well, nevermind.

This is the "trouble":
I open a folder containing the 1280*1024 & 1280*960 patches,
then my 'Norton Internet Security Center 2006' just removes the second patch cause it "thinks" its dangerous.


So, my questions are:
WTF is going on with the patch/with Norton???!!!
And, why it "thinks" the 1280*960 patch its dangerous??!!
And even, why 1280*960 yes but the other no??!!

I'm using the 1280*1024, but I just need to know what is going on with the things!! Grrr!!

Thank you ^^U

Norton is shit.

Now i understand that this may be considered spam or a useless answer, but believe me it's true. It picks up windows default system files up and shouts about them. It is a resource heavy piece of useless crap. Uninstall and get AvG or something.

Or then again, you could have a virus

AVG is reporting the Patcher (not the second 1280x1024 patcher) as infected with a virus. I haven't updated in a while (no home connection yet) nor checked if it has been cleared up at AVG support, but I managed by temporarily disabling resident shield to patch.

Interestingly I've had the same problem with ZoneAlarm Security Suite. I believe the antivirus engines pick this up as a "virus" / malware because it's obviously designed to write changes into another executable - This behavior isn't "standard" for most users, and is usually associated with virus activities (usually "appending" themselves to the ends of exe's).

Yeah, the AV programs all show the program a a generic trojan or something =/

Either that, or the SaiNt isn't much of a saint =P  (I keed)

Yeah, My computer says I can't open it even without the AV enabled. BTW I'm using AVG.
