Norton block ~nlauncher.exe

[merc]

So I updated the game and Norton keep removing the ~nlauncher.exe everytime I launch. I went to the option and tell norton to put it back and ignore future scan. It put it back to the same directory but if I click on it same thing happen again. Norton will intercept and remove it. How do i solve this issue.

Hi Merc,

~nlauncher is a temporary file that is part of the auto updater cycle. Launcher will launch the newly downloaded ~nlauncher which then updates the rest of the system and relaunches Launcher. Launcher then deletes ~nlaucher. It sounds like your issue is when Launcher tries to run ~nlauncher, then norton says WTF, and blocks it, correct?

I'm not sure how to get norton to NOT block it in this situation, I haven't used it in many years. I'm assuming your stuck with it because of work/corporate policy? Would you be willing to switch to a different AV program?

Edit: Does any of this help?

Thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier but I just turn Norton off for 15 mins while I update and launch. Turn Norton back on afterward. Duh.

IMHO Norton System Security is bloatware. Most anything else would be preferred.

Best to you,
