Norton 360

[Spykid]

So I am distributing my game now for testing. But…

A couple of my friends have norton 360 which just removes the program as soon as it is downloaded. Is there any way to prevent this.

Thanks

Ah, I have Norton 360 and yes, it does remove the .exe files and quarantines them. However, you can change the settings so it alerts you when it removes something, then you can press a button for more info when the popup appears and restore the file, it also aks you if you want it to exclude that file from future scans, which if ticked, will prevent this. THE DIRECTORY SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED!! If the person changes the Directory, Norton sometimes becomes confused and just continues scanning it and you have to exclude it all over again.

When it deletes it a warning pops up in t corner, click it. It will show a window and and has the option to restore it.

I'm suprised Norton 360 did not delete itself. I guess that's were the user comes in. In your Installation instructions you should make it clear to 

"Delete Norton 360 because it is a piece of fucking"

that should solve the issues.
