Launchbox 11.9 virus
Issue #5876
invalid
Can’t install Launchbox 11.9 because stupid Norton says all the sound wavs are virus’s. I tried to disable Norton because I got this file directly from you and its still won’t install.

Wow, that was quick and thanks, I just used safe mode and that allowed me to at least fully install it and it works. Is bitdefender any better in your opinion?

It is better, but still has some of the same issues, just to a lesser extent. I would still highly recommend sticking with Windows Defender.

Hi Hagar, yes, we're aware that Symantec/Norton is falsely identifying the latest version as a virus. We've been to the moon and back trying to get around Norton's extremely poor anti-virus engine, but we haven't been able to get past their endless false positives. They're like the boy who cried wolf; you can't believe them when they report an issue, because they report so many stupid false positives.
Our apologies for the trouble, but there's really nothing we can do about it. We highly recommend uninstalling Symantec/Norton because it's a terrible product. Microsoft's Windows Defender comes with Windows 10 and does a great job for free, so it's a completely unnecessary product.
