Hello,
So, I was watching an LP of the Crossfire mod the other day, and I decided to reinstall Freelancer for the first time in years and play the game with the mod. The game installed fine, but I've been having problems downloading Crossfire, as well as Freelancer Mod Manager, Discovery Freelancer, Nightstalker's Universe, and one or two other mods, all for testing purposes.
When I download something, that something is automatically scanned by my Norton Internet Security program, and anything problematic is quarantined or deleted. Thing is? Whenever I try to download a Freelancer mod, be it from Moddb, Fileplanet, this site, or other sites, every single time I am told that Norton detected some variation of a Trojan called "Suspicious.Cloud". I looked into this particular virus, and apparently it is really quite nasty; I'm sure you can understand my reluctance to create an exception so the files can be downloaded and not quarantined.
However, the strange thing is that I get this exact same message, that the file had a Suspicious.Cloud Trojan embedded in it, no matter where I download the file from, and no matter what Freelancer mod I download. So, unless the makers of this virus decided to specifically infect every single Freelancer mod at every source out there, it seems likely that this is just a mistake on the part of Norton Internet Security. But, before I create an exception and potentially risk my computer, can anyone explain to me why, exactly, this is happening?
or MODDB. 
- it might render programs that affect microsft based software as malware.
, as "good ol' Win XP still did.
