I hope this is the right spot to post this but i just updated windower and norton went crazy. It confined a file named FFXI.dill calling it a trojan.gen.smh.2. When i tried to load ffxi it brought up a window saying windows was configuring ffxi, ran till about 5% of the bar then shut down. Its done this 4 times. Any thoughts or insight?

Can you whitelist ffxi.dll? It's a critical game file.

This happened to me this morning as well with Symantec Endpoint. I found just whitelisting ffxi.dll was enough to get the game to function again.

Delete norton, no "if," "and," or "but..." Seriously don't use norton. Even Avast is a better option now. Personally I use windows defender and malware bytes. Never have any issues.

Same here with that program, except I just turned it off for a long time now.
