Norton Thinks Story Patch Is A Virus

[BraveBoy]

Alright, so here's the problem.
I have no idea what the story is in PSO2.
I don't want to skip everything so I just watch it but I still don't know what's going on. I try to install it via PSTweaker but apparently-

Norton thinks it's a virus.
I guess I could read up on it, but I don't really want to while skipping literally every cutscene. I don't know how to delete characters either, so I'm forced to be unable to start over. Heeeelp.

Norton is terrible, on my comp it thought the tweaker itself was a virus.

You need to whitelist the Tweaker and its files in Norton. Make sure you put the Tweaker and all its stuff in its own folder so you can just exclude the folder. I believe the option would be "Items to exclude from scans", and "Items to exclude from auto-protect, SONAR, and Download Intelligence Detection." Also, add your PSO2 directory to those exclusions.

There is a thread dedicated to the tweaker, and the issues you might experience in the future should be asked there.

Yes, AV software has apparently classified files related to the tweaker as unsafe/unknown and they tend to quarantine them. The next step is to try and find a way to add all tweaker and pso2 files to your AV whitelist/ignore list. Aida has submitted some false positive applications to some AV companies, and we hope they respond soon, and also propagate the information.

SONAR

This is the problem when you want to install the story patch. Just "disable" Norton for 5 min when you want to install it and like said above whitelist the tweaker

If you choose none of the above,

Open up the sonar report, go to restore and options, restore and exclude from future searches.

Norton thinks EVERYTHING is a virus. And the irony? Nothing is harder to remove from your computer than Norton itself. Its the biggest virus of all. Find a way to get rid of it.

[PrinceBrightstar]

Ya, totally agree on that.
