Nortons rejecting KIS

[Silverwood]

Hello

Nortons seems to keep rejecting both KIS & KAS.  It says CCC.dll file removed.

Says it is a threat.

I have installed twice now, but it keeps doing it.

Any ideas?

PS Please dont just say remove nortons

I have the same problem with this and several other mod-related .dll files.  When you get the message that Norton has removed a file, bring up the details, then options,k and click the one to restore the file and exclude it from future scans.

Problem is, this only works that one time.  If you update the mod, deleting the previous version, you have to go through this again.

Shouldn't this have been posted in the KIS/KAS threads for the mods rather than creating a new thread?

Perhaps, but I am quite new to this, so bear with me.

The one I have the most irritation with is called something like ws.reputation.  It's in a  BUNCH of mods, apparently, and Norton requires each instance of it to be OK'd separately.

@EatVacuum  The dlls Norton is complaining about are bundled with many mods, so it's more of a general mod thing than a specific mod thing, hence warrants its own thread.  However, I think this thread would be better in a general add-on discussion topic than the mod release topic, where it would be more likely to be seen by multiple mod devs.

I'll say it.  Norton is one of the worst, most annoying A/V solutions out there.  Replace it with something better.

I use norton, and it is not a annoying for me. I haven't gotten any viruses or anything, ever. I think it's decent.

Moved to add-on support, as this isn't a mod.

everyone is going to have a good experience  with any product. I manage ~800 nodes of antivirus for work across a range of small business clients. Overall in terms of actually catching viruses and most importantly "staying out of the way" norton ranks pretty low.  It isn't the best at catching viruses and its hogs more resources than many other options.  But if it works for by all means don't switch on my account.

I'm using McAfee on my PCs and laptop, so far it's been pretty good in terms of performance and protection, haven't seen any viruses or other malware for years now.

So if I read this right, Nortons will flag up other files used in mods, not just this one, and I will have to flag each up to use it?

It's not so much a specific file or dll that Norton reacts to, but rather that 'unusual' files have a higher risk of generating a false positive from their use of 'reputation scoring'.

So if you get a non-malware file getting trapped in this you shouldn't just restore it but also report it back to Norton as false positive.

Then I assume you have not had this particular issue?

Or have you?
