I downloaded 106 from paradox. I extracted it to the aod folder. When I tried to launch it there was a four or five second pause, after which my Norton AV reported that it had quarantined aodgame.exe as a dangerous file. Anyone else see this? Any ideas?

I used Norton before was much better off with Norman antivirus. Even so saving takes more time because of my Norman antvivirus program I think.

exclude the exe file would be safe.

The exe was checked with virustotal.com - so tested with 40 different anti virus engines... no virus found.

Uh, I had Norton and was attacked with viruses aplenty - it didn't work well and it was very heavy on my computing resources. I got bitdefender and it only failed me 3 times in 10+ years.
