Running Norton on a home computer is fine for antivirus support. But if you're going to run NR at home on your home computer, don't complain when things like Norton cry wolf.

It's not a virus and NR isn't made for home computers. It's made for servers (which most firewall and antivirus software doesn't work on). If you were running it on a dedicated server box with server firewall/antivirus and it detected it as a virus, I'd be a bit more suprised.

But quite honestly, don't expect much of your FDS and NR if you're running it from home. That seems a bit silly to me anyway.

Point is: NR never was, and never will be, a virus. When antivirus programs detect a computer manipulation (which COULD be a virus) but it doesn't know for sure what it is, it gives it a generic name like the one you provided. If you research it on google it will tell you what the symptoms are and why your antivirus is triggering NR as a virus. But I assure you, it has absolutely nothing malicious about it. If you remember, even RenGuard had this issue. Innocent, clean, programs often have these false warnings.

suit yourself.

Norton has a long history of detecting legit programs as viruses. Not to long ago Norton detected RenGuard as a virus if you remember. Thats one of the many reasons why alot of people dont like Norton.

Thats what symantic website says about this and it seems to just be a "generic" message rather than a deadly virus.

ok i just tryed to update nr

after a while of updateing like 5 updates this time

it says

Run-time error '5':
Invalid procedure call or argument

then a norton thing pops up saying that it detected a virus on my computer
saying it is a high risk and is unable to repair the file and access to the file was denied

and it doesnt give the entire file path when it says the object name but it says it is NightRegulator[1].743215

To tell you the truth, if you believe that a bot which is probably being used more than any other bot is a virus, you must be pretty retarded.

My expert opinion to help you out is delete your whole f*cking server.
