Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So I decided to see what all this hype about A:EFTP is and went to download it off Jeff's site. So I grabbed the Windows copy and downloaded it. However, once it finished, as I went to open it, my copy of Norton popped up and said "This file is a security risk and has been removed from your computer" for containing something known as "WS.Reputation.1" that posed an insight network threat. Now, I don't think Jeff is really building up a company for decades so he can slip viruses and trojans into downloads now that he's hit the big time, so I just want to know if anybody else has gotten something like this or if it's Norton's fault for being overprotective and I can go ahead and run the exe.

Garrulous Glaahk JamesMighty Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I have downloaded A:EFTP and have Avast not Norton. It's probably Norton being overprotective. Either you need to update you version of Norton or go into your Norton file and find something that will say "Security Warnings" or something like that and un-check WS.Reputation.1 Hope this solves your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Apparently, WS.Reputation.1 is a feature of Norton that analyzes programs based on "many aspects of a file, including file age, file download source, digital signature, and file prevalence" to determine if it may be suspicious. My guess is that it's flagging A:EftP because it is relatively new and is not something a lot of people run on their computers. It should be completely safe to tell Norton to STFU and run the game.
