my download was flagged by Norton's as trojan

Post by flatlander37 »

the trojan identified was
suspicious.mystic

How can this be?
I downloaded directly from the web site.
I am somewhat disgruntled that I have paid $30 for an infected file.

Anyone else get this error.

Which file are downloading?

I haven't used Norton in several years. But I recall it used to flag a number of files that turned out to be fine.

Norton is notorious for false alarms. Your file is fine.

Ahh thank-you for the re-assurance. I had gone looking around and found also that this might be a false alarm.

Now I will install the file.

Whew.
