I have an issue that’s driving me nuts. Norton Antivirus One, otherwise known as Big Brother, considers many new Daz Studio products I buy from this store to be highly suspicious. As a result, it will EAT THEM. The way the stupid program had been functioning is there was a way for me to go after the file, and there was a heading called OPTIONS, and I could choose UNDELETE. Now that function seems to be gone. It just ate the new file called Skies of Reality. I gather this is because I am one of five people to install the thing. (??!!!) //sigh. Norton has been eating my files for three or four months now. Does anybody know how to get the files back?
I’ve been having the same problem, used up tons of my downloads to figure it out. But there is an option on the norton icon in the tray to turn on silent mode. It will then ask you for how long. This has been working for me for the most part, but for some reason it did not like Rawarts Man Wolf and the last freebie the living room collection. Even with norton off, they would just dissapear, I could not even find them within norton or the recycling bin. I ended up renaming them for the download and that worked for those two.
Yeah, it’s a nightmare dowloading stuff from here now. No way to sort PC or Mac and now theres all kinds of extra file formats that you can’t sort either. I dread going to my downloads page when I’m done buying stuff here.
I know for Microsoft Security Essentials you can choose default actions it takes on detected files.
<I haven’t had false positives from Daz>
Same for AVG, unless they changes it within the last 1 1\2 years when I stopped using it.
<No false positives from Daz either, but it was 1 1\2 years ago>
Norton and McAfee seem to always cause headaches. We tried both of them and got rid of both of them in our place of business because of their difficulty without having an IT person (It’s just me and another guy). If you are running in Windows 7 I have been told that the firewall and antivirus programs, Security Essentials, work perfectly well. Since 2 years ago I have been running Windows 7 at home and have yet to experience any problems with a virus on all three of my machines. But I am just a user and have no technical know how, it’s just from experience.
Used the free and then payware AVG for years without issue. I now use Avast thanks to an IT friend. I will never use Norton or McAfee again. had to wipe a HD just to uninstall McAfee years ago

I use Avast too (AIS), after having tried many others. Think it’s the first one I really like.
The latest version of AVG antivirus detects some of my drivers as suspicious files and automatically quarantines them. One of them is the Realtek audio support program.

The most common reason for Symantec to take the decision to delete your files after you have downloaded them is because not enough people have already downloaded the file!!! Yes, that’s right ... it’s unbelievable, but Symantec have decided that if a file hasn’t been downloaded very often then it has a poor “reputation” and therefore must be deleted to “protect” you. This will happen irrespective of whether or not the file has a match in the database of virus signatures.
Sometimes I really wonder what thought processes are going on in these people’s minds.

Yep, it’s doing this to me too. So, you simply wait a minute, then open Norton Antivirus and click on Advanced, then in the next window you click on Quarantine. It will then give you a list with the removed files and the option to retrieve them. I would suggest after you’ve got the files back you right click on them -> Norton Internet Security Online -> Norton Insight and select trust. Otherwise it will remove the file again if you try to install it.
