We have seen some reports of false positives from anti-virus programs. In order to run the game, you can add the game file to your allowlist on the antivirus program. We also recommend reporting this as a false positive to your antivirus provider.

As a developer you need to take a look at why this file is causing this issue and resolve it with Norton. It give me a very uneasy feeling when I see this type of things. Please resolve.

For false positives with anti-virus programs, it is recommended to submit the file so that the anti-virus provider can look into it and recognise that the file is not a virus. This, in theory, should help other players to avoid having issues running into false positives because Norton will hopefully stop flagging it as such.
