it is amusing how quickly people will push their own opinions on others even when you are not asked to. had he said" any suggestions for a better VP program?" then go ahead and bash. personally i have used norton, macafee, windows defender, and maleware bytes. and i have noticed almost no weakness in any of them. and while norton does require a little more time to set up, i use it because i would rather a false positive then a false negative, as for the actual problem mentioned, you can simply disable the antivirus for 15 minutes then turn it back on or tell it to ignore the threat. for the record i use norton 360.

I work in the IT sector, Norton is nothing but problems from my personal experience.
AVG, Avira, Kaspersky and NOD32 are pretty good when it comes to allround protection.

Actually, I'm using Kapersky Internet Security 2012 and it's giving me warning when I run the MOW beta installer, detected as PDM.trojan.generic high risk danger then quarantine the file automatically. I had to turn off proactive defense first before I can run the installer.

Just tell Norton to un-quarantine it..and then you don't need to turn Norton off for 15 minutes, or change your AV program, or anything...

This is what I did.

My virus scanner says my PC got a virus PDM.trojan.generic.W32. Is this real or similar to the issues that MechWarrior4 Free Release had?

Hopefully PGI Admin can respond quickly.

Guys i've seen a lot about norton detecting the exe file as a virus...well am on kaspersky and it does the same thing indicating that it has similar behavior to a trojan. Much as i would like to start and contribute well to the beta, i just can't disable my anti-virus.

I hope this is an initial feedback to the Beta test itself. Would appreciate a resolution to this one pls.

thank you.
