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.

Close Norton 360, then download 1.025, I had the same problem, the scanner thinks it is a virus, but it is not.

With the one machine that I have Norton AntiVirus on I use "Settings" and then go to "Exclusions" and then "Configure" and enter the location of the .exe I want it to exclude. 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.

If there's an option in Norton to submit false pos files then do so. Norton should sort this out.

It didn't delete the exe, it quarantined it. Just tell norton to unquarantine the exe and you'll be good to go.

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.

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! smile

My advice is to ditch Norton. Too invasive. There are much better alternatives. PC Doctor is very good for instance.

Norton is the beginning of your problem... Always hated this piece of crap software, sneaking everywhere doing god knows what... like a 100 heads hydra fooling around your PC... I'm with the FREE and much less intrusive AVAST for 8 years, never had any trouble!

Could not agree more, Norton is practically malware mixed with predatory business practices, there are better, cleaner and more effective anti-virus programs that are community driven and free.

I see many computers that you buy in stores with this installed, I suppose Norton is the new AOL in it's own way.

antiviruses are malwares, install them if you don't know how to use a computer.

+1 X infinity to dump Norton. More intrusive than malware.

I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

Don't blame your antivirus!...Norton is right! Downloading anything from ROF IS an...addiction virus!

Hehe Fifi, it's true... Norton is just trying to protect you from ROF addiction! But I fear it's too late for you (and us).

Good luck uninstalling Norton. I finally resorted to a HDD reformat a few years ago to get rid of it.
