Norton Security Issue

Norton seems to be deleting Beamdog programs as soon as they are being installed onto my new laptop. It happened both while attempting to install SoD and the Beamdog client.

The reason:

I wonder when that started. :expressionless:

Anyway, through the security history, you can restore these downloaded files by clicking the "Restore" link under Recommended actions.

I also wonder if someone like @TrentOrster can contact Norton and explain the meaning of irony to them.

    We've worked with them a few times to be put on their "blessed" list. Looks likek they forgot about us again. Which games is it auto deleting?

    The beamdog client and SoD were the two that were being blocked before figuring out what was going on.

    Once I got the client installed it allowed me to download all the EE games though.
