Norton is known to cause a lot of false positives with their heuristic algorithm which uses a crappy AI-based logic. It might get toggled by the link it tries to establish to EGS and/or CurseForge.

Probably is nothing, not seeing anything else different *yet*.
@GrazyLamer and @Supernoodles It is not yours to comment on the VS I use.
That is a form pf backseat comment that is out of bounds.

@Ramrod, Microsoft is the most crappy developer ever. Not a single program in there office packages ever worked normaly together.
So I will be the last to trust Microsoft with my safety.

norton is one of the worst, bitdefender is a good virus protector
It's a false positive, Norton does that often. I quit using it because of the frequent false positives.

On this case Norton thinks that program is a threat but it doesn't know what kind of threat it is, hence generic in the name, it's giving a false positive.

Hogwarts developers didn't do anything wrong, it's the anti-virus that is the issue.

Believe what you want, i've been using computers since the 90's and i've also worked with IT and someone in that company installed Norton on the company computer and it blocked the whole company network access from that computer....but sure Norton is so good it even blocked company access because it was "untrusted".

So get off your high horse telling people are wrong when you are the one with problems not being able to run the game while we're not.

Avast did this as well, so not just Norton. However, I told Avast to NOT quarantine it and didnt get the disk write problem. That being said, my game is still bricked because of the mods I already had. >.>
