Title: creepermap.exe has performed suspicious activity
Post by: Shroom Agent 27 on August 16, 2010, 01:59:29 PM
Norton internet security's SONAR protection says creepermap.exe was acting suspicious and was quarantined when I opened it. I told it to back off, and it does, but is there something wrong with the file, or is it just trying to access other data?  :-\

Is this your first time running CW with this Norton software installed? More than likely its fine. I run Zone Alarm Pro on my PC and it does the same thing when a new game is installed.

Norton is just being uptight about anything....

Norton AV products have probably the worst reputation on the Internet. They used to be extremely good before being taken over by Symantec, but has turned into resource-heavy bloatware.

Some years ago I got rid of it. Now I run the free Microsoft Security Essentials (http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/) and it works great and is very light-weight.

I have to agree. The first thing I do with a new PC is uninstall any kind of Norton Software. I prefer AVG for Antivirus and Zone Alarm Pro for firewall protection.
