Problem with NORTON

Postby garymbuska » Tue Aug 01, 2017 7:11 am

I do not know how many people are using Norton Security Suite But as of Yesterday 7/31/17 Norton now thinks this site is a dangerous web site I have to over ride it. Some new definitions were released :think:

The definitive answer to this is.
Trash Norton.Burn it at the stake,
Plunge a wooden spike in it, at a
crossroads at midnight.

I had these problems years ago.
Most simmers will say the same thing.

Norton also takes up processes in the
background,while Flight Sim is running.

I changed to Eset and have had no problems
over the years.I did so when I found out that
ORBX uses it.

Gary - this is not a FSX question - it's a simviation question and there is already a couple of threads about it.



Meanwhile please see this https://forums.simviation.com/phpBB3/vi ... 6&t=177537

Try it again ...... the 'threat' is a false negative. Just Norton being paranoid. Nothing has changed in the site and suddenly simviation is a threat? Try with any other test and it's fine.

File doesn't even exist ..... :roll: I removed it to play Norton's little game. If you look at the other thread you will see I scanned that file with Norton itself and it comes up clean.
That file 'cessn152.zip' was uploaded way back in about 2006 .... It's clean as a whistle. I removed it just to make things easy ........

You will see in the other thread that Norton have opened a case about this last week - but given it's Norton - I bet when I follow it up (I already know they won't get back to me as promised) - they will know nothing about it while the person, in somewhere like the Phillippines, being exquisitly polite, tells me they still get the warning but cannot find what has been done. .......... But this is unfairly hurting Simviation .....
Basically this is a pile of crap about nothing and only teaches me never to buy any Norton product ever again.

As soon as my Norton expires it is out the door for me. I am tired of having them tell me about sites not being safe that I know for a fact they are. I come to find out that the Ottawa Sun was blocked because Norton didn't like the way some of thier adds showed up on thier webpage. Bye Bye Norton.

Keep smiling

I have just logged in here on Chrome with Norton running and it seems that Norton has gotten their act together an does not have the site blocked now.
