Sixxkiller Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 If there is a "gaming" option, you may wanna go into that mode before launching. I ditched Norton long ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The solution is to get rid of Norton. CM:BN wouldn't be the first program Norton screwed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker15 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'd recommend getting rid of norton all together, it's quite a poor AV lots of false positives and missed infections. Microsoft security essentials, avasts and maybe AVG are the best AVs and all are free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Followed your sugesstions and opened Norton file. Found an option to prevent Norton from scanning certain files. Placed CMBN full game and demo...PROBLEM SOLVED !!! Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Anti-virus software sometimes behaves like viruses. Which is kinda ironic It would be interesting if someone installed two different anti-virus packages on one computer and see what each does to the other. My guess is it wouldn't be pretty!

Moon Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Our new Online Activation System is designed to play nice with the vast majority of AV software out there. We using various techniques to signal to the AV engine that the game is legitimate. But there are some products out there that basically don't give a crap *Some* Norton products are like that, BitDefender is probably the worst (even blocking completely unprotected/unencrypted software), and there are some others. We use a virus engine database to check our new games against possible false positives. The success rate is about 99.9%. However, on top of the AV engine, some packages come with various additions, like Keyloggers, Virtualization software, Process Explorers etc. All of these will prevent the game from running because the game detects this and shuts down, as for all it knows it could be a hacker trying to get in. So if you get problems with your AV, please contact your AV vendor and have them check out the game files that are being blocked, and they should be able to tell you exactly how to fix it. Personally, I think that many of these protections schemes go to far and are completely unnecessary. Something to put on the marketing sheet, perhaps, to get you to buy another copy. What is worst perhaps is the lack of documentation and transparency about what is going on. If you really need strong AV protection on your PC, for work or whatever, that's ok but you should probably consider not installing games there For the gaming PC, basic firewall and AV protection will do the trick 99.9% of the time.

barrage Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I had a problem downloading demo. Norton scrubbed it off the 'puter after the download I had to turn off the real time anti virus (settings, antivirus, real-time protection), then install both demo and later the game. After the install everything has worked well I wanted to say kudos to BF for a very smooth release Doug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abn Air Cav Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I had a problem downloading demo. Norton scrubbed it off the 'puter after the download <snip> I had Norton AntiVirus do the same thing to me, it didn't like the fact that I had an executable file downloaded from filefactory with so few users having used it, giving it a "low reputation score"! :eek: Just another example that "the wisdom of crowds" is not always reliable. Otherwise, I've been a satisfied Symantec customer for years, and am happy with the current version of Norton AntiVirus, which so far is unperturbed with the release version of CM:BN, kudos to the team for their hard work to make AV software happy. FWIW, I have not had to fiddle with my installation of Norton AntiVirus to launch CM:BN, so far. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
