OlPaint An Ace in de Skys Member Registered: 02/18/06 Posts: 138 Loc: Ohio	I just updated Rise of Flight to version 1.025. I launched it and immediately got a warning from my Norton 360 Antivirus that it detected suspicious activity in a file ROF.EXE and deleted it. WOW. I am currently grounded. I did a Recovery. And Norton 360 remove ROF.EXE again when I launched it. HELP!!! Does anyone know a work around.

I have not had to do it for ROF but I have had to do it for other sims. In the past I have had to recover/restore the .exe first before I did that.

OlPaint An Ace in de Skys Member Registered: 02/18/06 Posts: 138 Loc: Ohio	Thanks Fellows Adding RoF.exe to the Norton 360 Exclusions List did the trick. The Recovery did its job. Norton did not quarantine my executable this time. All is right with the world now. And I am not grounded any more.

trindade Member Registered: 12/27/10 Posts: 1333 Loc: Portugal	Interesting, i guess this is not exclusively related to Norton Antivirus! I didn't do any update yet and i get a virus warning from my Kaspersky12 when trying to launch or update RoF. After excluded from the threats list, it runs fine again!

Always hated this piece of crap software, sneaking everywhere doing god knows what... like a 100 heads hydra fooling around your PC...
