Simplz Zoo being flagged by Norton

[Torven]

Not sure why, but Simplz Zoo's exe, sz.exe is being flagged by Norton Antivirus as a high risk file. After Norton deleted the file, I verified the cache, redownloaded the files that were deleted and tried again with the same result.

It's a false positive. You'll need to tell Norton to ignore that file (if possible) or simply switch off Norton when playing until they release a definition update that solves the problem.

That was what I figured, but the fact that Norton was outright deleting the file instead of quarantining it had me a bit edgy.

Yeah Norton tends to do things like that. That's why I stopped using it a few years ago. Been using Comodo since then. It's free and does a lot better job (at least for me).

I just like having the knowledge that if something really messes up my computer, somebody else gets stuck holding the bag.
