Latest update flagged as virus by Norton Antivirus!

[T-Dub]

If you have Norton Antivirus as I do, you'll find that the latest Steam update with Swords of Fury is flagged as: Trojan.Gen.8!cloud, and then Norton completely removes the pinballarcade.exe file and you can't even launch the problem. A quick browse on the Steam forums and you will find lots of people having issues with this; the common denominator being Norton. I have sent an email to support@pinballarcade.com and hopefully they will resolve this issue quickly.

Would have to contact Norton as well to let them know it's a false positive. Had the same problem with my Webroot antivirus, it would flag TPA, Zaccaria, Zen Pinball and some of my Blizzard games, so I contacted support, it seemed ok for awhile, then a few weeks later it was back at it again, so I dumped Webroot and got Secure It through my local ISP.

You can go into Norton, return the file out of quarantine and mark it as safe so it's not deleted again.

I would say more like mail Norton (maybe mail them both). A quick Google search seems to indicate that Norton has been a lot of false positive problems with this "trojan" lately.

This "trojan" is more or less a "generic" detection routine, meaning it's not a specifically defined threat, it's just trying to look for certain behaviors. It looks like at some update, the detection routine got over-aggressive.

...the detection routine got over-aggressive.

shocking! lol...seriously, I really think anti virus software is as much of a scam/problem as actual viruses.

Especially since it tends to cause your computer to behave in the exact manner you're trying to prevent.

Wait, someone benefited from Quick Extender Pro a lot and actually uses Norton?!
