Norton thinks Starcraft II is a virus.

Cihparg · May 9, 2010

Well, thats what it says.

I don't have very much more to say, but if you are going to install Starcraft II, your norton may pop up with an virus alert.

And no, I am not using a cracked version, I'm using the one from:

I will say all that can be said:

"lol"

Kimbo · May 9, 2010

Sorry, didnt happen for me.

Infinitynexus · May 9, 2010

Guess what? It's fucking Norton.

Uninstall that crap and get something reliable.

kimpakim7 · May 9, 2010

Norton 2010 is very reliable, and it doesn't screw your computer like past versions did.

It didn't tell me anything!

Zorga · May 9, 2010

Unistall Norton -> Problem solved.

Norton is a really crappy firewall...

Your better off with the free version of Zonealarm and/or the free version of AVG!

Don't you know that AVG once tough Warcraft 3 system files are virus?
These both antivirus are said to be Bllizardphobic (altrough it never happened to me), but anyway you can report to Norton about the problem.

tagg1080 · May 9, 2010

Or just avoid watching porn and not have to worry about virus software?

I use AVG and i am doing fine playing both SC2 and WC3. Anyways even WoW works without, you fucker playing blizzard? pops out...

Mepper · May 9, 2010

This is why I don't use Norton anymore, too many false alarms and it uses WAAAY too much memory. I switched over to McAffee for a year and now I use AVG Free.

Grey Nightmare · May 9, 2010

AVG FTW! No seriously, never had a virus on laptop or pc for the last two years I've used the 'free' version. Sure it picks up some JNGP stuff as viruses, this is good, it means it recognises potentially harmful file types.

I've heard bad stuff about Norton, but haven't used it myself.

kimpakim7 · May 9, 2010

Norton were really bad before they released their 2010 package. Now they don't take any performance from the computer at all, at least very little ^^

No, do not uninstall. It will give you many many viruses if you do.

shadonavan · May 10, 2010

first let me say HAHAHAHA omniferous that is funny as hell!!!!!

Now that thats out of the way.....Offgraphic one of a few things happened.

1.You downloaded sc2 from an "unofficial" source and now you have a virus. In which case it serves you right dont pirate games.

2.Norton is stupid and says its a virus. This scenario is very likely as everyone knows norton is a piece of crap.

3. Blizzard has put a virus in sc2. If that is true i will take all the money i have and burn it becuase obviously big corporations can no longer be trusted!!

I will leave it up to you all to decide which is the most likely!

Bu113t · May 10, 2010

Why not just post in his thread then? and ye norton is just stupid.

Mechanical Man · May 10, 2010

I don't even bother with antivirus

Statharas · May 10, 2010

OffGraphic, this is a stupid alarm.
Make sure that Norton is updated to latest version, and if yes, report it to blizz AND Symantec.

Did you even read the first post? Which is this: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1576210-post1.html . I clearly state that I downloaded the Beta from Blizzard.

Most likely it is just that norton is damn stupid and really THINKS the Beta is an virus.

alexhuang012 · May 10, 2010

I have norton and it didn't say anythin

elfian · May 10, 2010

Norton thinks my dick is a virus. That's the worst anti-virus software ever. I'd rather have no anti-virus than have this. I wouldn't put it on my PC even if they pay me to do it. Just delete it and put something else, whatever it is. Nod32 maybe?

tagg1080 · May 10, 2010

Or just switch to Linux or Mac!

Zergleb · May 12, 2010

Norton is a virus and it's just jealous that you are running a high quality program that's better than it is.

killer1390 · May 12, 2010

I suggest avira antivirus. It's free version is superb and I have not had to reinstall my OS for about a year, and still counting, which with any other virus software it would be a month. :grin:

Dr Super Good · May 12, 2010

Kaspersky alearted me to the updater being a potential trojen. However as long as you have got the downloader from battlenet (from your account) and only use the updater for all updates, it is completly safe. Blizzard is a comercial company, a scandle over a virus or trojen would cost them millions so they would never consider such a thing.

Norton thinks Starcraft II is a virus.
