FeralHeart download detected as malicious?
« on: January 05, 2014, 08:01:21 am »
Okay so I've downloaded FH on this computer (Samsung Notebook, Windows 7, 64 bit) multiple times, but this time, the download was detected as malicious so naturally I discontinued the process. But I really really really wanna play?

I have Norton Online Security so could that be it?

It might be your security system on your computer. I've been playing for 3 years (this coming september ahshahasaljkhdajh) without having a single virus.

Norton is a butthole. A big fat butthole indeed. >:c Never trust that strict anti-virus. FH isn't a virus.

Temporarily disable the antivirus and download the game again. See if that works.

I can assure you that Feralheart is virus free. I've experienced the same detections from Norton when really there is no need, so yes, I would suggest that Norton might be the case.

It's good to be cautious, you could try using a different anti-virus and scan Feralheart for a virus but otherwise you can change Norton's settings and turn off any warnings for Feralheart. It should then run as it's meant to.

Will be inactive due to work and exams.

I feel any download is detected as malicious atleast when I had norton it was that way. But I have had zero problems with the game or viruses since getting the game

Its just Norton it self. Turn it off real quick. Download. Do everything then turn it back on.
BOOM!
