As I said above, Norton will sometimes delete tt's game.exe, I say sometimes because I didn't have it happen tell I reinstalled everything onto my new hard drive. I had to manually go into history and restore the file.

Can you find some logs on this, does it say what the reason was for removing the file?

I stand corrected; it was actually deleted on my laptop, thus its Symantec Endpoint Protection's Proactive Treat Protection that deleted Game.exe.

As you can see it marked it as a Bloodhound.Sonar.9.

Does Norton ever actually delete anything malicious or does it just randomly delete files for a laugh? I think Norton is worse than malware sometimes...

Considering the one time I used Norton Internet Security it broke my internet access completly, you might be right.

That's not really "very funny" because that just seems to be how they named their algorithm for finding trojan horses by behavioral analysis. I'm sure other companies do it too, but just name it differently and probably use their own algorithms to do so. Since it's analyzing behavior and attempting to find viruses even before they are analyzed by their staff, it's not too strange that it sometimes detects innocent programs as being viruses as well. I'm sure other solutions also do that, and it's probably mostly caused by the code injection and such we need to change Renegade. That may appear irregular/hostile.

Having said that, I have almost only heard bad things about Norton's virus scanner, so I wouldn't recommend it either. Nearly all virus scanners are in that category for me though.
