Norton 360 'steals' the execute file #10

Open mellowtonyn opened 6 years ago

mellowtonyn commented 6 years ago

Running a Windows 10 using Norton 360. Upon executing the application the 360 File Insight pops up telling me not many people have used this file, etc. etc. I "run the program anyway" and exclude it from future scans. Afterwards my fans act up, telling me I'm using a lot of RAM, probably from 360. The execute is deleted and Norton warns me I should restart to delete viruses. This repeated about 4 times before 360 gave up and quit deleting the execute. The most recent stable build is fine and results in no warnings. This is probably just 360 being a brat but I thought you'd like to know that something is being picked up by antivirus. Not sure what information you'd need for this issue, but I'll provide what I can.

This is a Norton Heuristic definition problem . "when in doubt , throw it out" . Upload the file here to check it https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload . If your satisfied Norton has made a mistake , submit the file to Norton . Update your definitions , maybe its already fixed

I would say follow @Tsoccerguy3's steps, we can submit the files to Norton but with test releases every week, they would probably be clear only a day or so before the next one comes out. For this reason, we are planning on only submitting our full releases to Norton for clearance. Until that time, feel free to have Norton bypass the files, our entire build pipeline can be found on our main repo with the exact steps and commands we use to build the executable
