Suspicious.Cloud

Post by FreakNigh »

I guess norton thinks the openra exe has a "virus". Any ideas?

Info on the "suspicious.cloud" (appears to be nothing but still)

This is due to norton being overly paranoid and flagging our internal code generation (which we use to make our sync checking fast) as suspicious.

This has been discussed before, and a solution posted at http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/view ... 82&t=14863

Our binary releases are built from source and packaged on a debian linux machine so there is no opportunity for malware to infect our windows packages. Any bad behavior the game might exhibit is our fault alone...

your code writes code on the fly?

Yes, it is used to generate the syncreport.log when things go wrong.

The real question here: Why are you using Norton?
