Personally I dont Believe this and this has probley already came to the Attention of the Admins.











 
I'm not sure but it might be far fetched? I dont believe it, but I thought the admins might wanna do something about it before it freaks everyone with Norton out

Ive got the Newest Norton anti-virus out, but im thinking the warning might be fake or a pop up, but if i click the site off and bring it back up I get the warning again. I'll just Ingore it, but heres the site if this can help anyone clarify if its real or fake http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=taleworlds.com
 
It sucks. It came free with my computer, and it's pretty ****e. It automatically updates every week, which takes about an hour, and I can't close it because there's a pop up box telling me it's searching for updates. Afterwards there's a quick virus scan that turns up threats in the hundreds, but a full scan reveals a clear system.  :neutral:
 
Avast automatically updates every time you connect to the internet and it doesn't sap system resources.  It even pops up and literally tells you that the virus database has been updated.
 
Judging how its free unless you are using it for business purposes I wouldn't have much of a job  :wink:

It's totally a dangerous trojan, once you download and run that goddamn exe file you just can't summon the will to uninstall it, and it very quickly hacks into your brain and makes you send $29.99 or so directly to Armagan.

Play with the settings and you can regulate when you update it yourself. I've had no troubles with Avast taking up my time, but it's probably outdated now, since I rarely update it. xD
 
New antivirus' are always over-protective... :sad:
Still, better safe than sorry! It usually takes a few months for the program to calm its over-excited self...Least, that was the case with Bitdefender.  :smile:
 
Actually, Norton isn't a bad piece of anti virus software, it was pretty bad 5 years ago but has improved a lot. That said, I also use Norton and am afraid that the problem stated at the start of this topic is still not resolved:

It might be something the admins want to look in on.
