SONAR Security threat from Siege of Dragonspear

Just a heads up - For some reason, I'm getting a SONAR security threat when I try to launch Siege of Dragonspear. I have Norton Anti-virus installed.

It was working just fine a few days ago, now it's triggering an issue with my AntiVirus software.

I highly doubt this is a real issue - but wanted to call this out to Beamdog.

    We've been getting false positives from antivirus apps since the beta. They are all heuristic rather than signature based - that is, the don't see a specific virus, but think our program does "suspicious" things.

    Looks like sonar is especially sensitive - a quick Google shows that the use things like "creates a desktop shortcut" and "adds itself to Add / Remove Programs" as criteria for something not being malicious.

    Thanks for the info. I was reading up on sonar as well and agree. I was pretty sure you were already aware of this.
