Norton 360 Problem since 2/17: rfactor 2.exe gets deleted because of trojan.gen.8

[Matthauser]

Hello Guys, since today i'm not able to play rFactor2 any more, because my Norton 360 thinks it is a trojan (rfactor 2.exe trojan.gen.8)
Would be nice if Studio 397 would tell those Symantec Guys, thats it's ok (i hope it is, at least )

Anyone else with this Problem?
Greetings, Matthauser

Little mistake: It's not that i cannot play it any more, just redownloaded the exe over steam an put it on the ignore list. So no big problem!

Interesting, because Symantec shows clean here...

...and only yesterday someone reported Norton to find the same issue with Automobilista.

Looks like Norton hates simulators :P

Why the huge text?
Hell, no way would I be using Norton.
And I sure as hell wouldn't make a huge public fuss that I use a crap program that thinks a known game that has been out since 2012 has a trojan.
By the look of your avatar you probably paid for Norton too!

Common sense using the net negates the need for AV programs.
Unfortunately, common sense is being phased out extremely quickly by greed and stupidity.

Do this at your own risk
In norton go to:
View recent history
In the combo search:
Quarantine
From here you can restore deleted files and tell norton for ignore
The descriptions of the options are translations, my NIS is in Spanish
Also can configure Norton for ask before delete files

Get rid of Norton,more of a virus than any real virus.
