Tonight Norton 360 quarantined ffxi.dll as a Trojan and malware. Is this happening to anyone else? Or is Norton being overprotective again.

Norton causes millions of issues, just uninstall it and use something not the failure that is Norton.

Any suggestions on better anti-virus programs?

microsoft security essentials is rather non-invasive (as far as a/vs go) and is free, assuming you're on windows 7.

I've been using the free version since its release and paid version since I upgraded to windows 7. Not one problem ever.

Used the free version a ton of times on XP systems when no other antivirus program would accurately detect and remove.

The free version doesn't do realtime, but it is pretty good at removing crap once you're actually infected.

I lucked out and got the paid version for a one time fee for life, before they moved to yearly pricing. But yeah it's by far the best for removing crap. The paid realtime can be a bit sensitive at times, but still remains by far the least intrusive when it comes to system performance.

Go to one of them that you are able to log in, go into the ffxi folder copy the ffxi.dll and paste in the one that isn't working. You can connect them to a network to share files.

DON'T EVER SHARE the FFXI folder on the network.

It will *** the windows installer registry entry for FFXI and then POL will start to beg for the game install files when you push the "PLAY" button on FFXI page inside POL Viewer.

If you need to share the FFXI files on the network, copy them to another folder and then share that.

For once, the problem is not SE's fault and they still respond with the same thing.

it shouldn't delete the file it saves it in the quarantine folder, which you can restore without having to re-download FFXI

I didn't re-install FFXi. I only got FFXi.dll from another friend and copied into that folder.

Some AVs allow you to restore those quarantined files. But I agree, it gets annoying if you don't add it to the AV's exception list.

Where can I download the newest POL? For some reason, my POL reverted back 1.18 and crashes when I load it up.

That link is for the whole game install. There one just for pol? It use to be easy but I don't want to download 4 gbs just for a pol viewer update.

Leo said it in another thread, apparently some malware is using similar methods to SE's anti-tampering stuff so in an effort to flag them it's flagging this legit file too.
