David, Bristol is still a .exe simulation and is downloaded via the downloads area. Most other simulations are run via the SimSig loader, and downloaded via pressing check for updates in the loader application. If you are having issues make sure you download the latest system files from the website, and do a fresh install.

SimSig does not contain any viruses of any sort so I would recommend disabling Norton during the install and then whitelist the newly installed files. A Google search will tell you how to do this.

Norton is a pain in the 'side for small software developers like SimSig. It does not appear to make the distinction between unknown software, and software with a virus. That then leads my customers to believe my software has viruses, which, I would hope, it does not. Norton is overzealous and unhelpful. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

David - there are tons of alternatives to Norton, which I would never use for the reasons given, and many others. My sweet spot is a combination of Malwarebytes, MS Windows Defender, and, last but far from least, common sense.

According to a computer magazine that I read, using Windows Defender alone is a bit risky. They recommend using a second AV program alongside, which they say you can do without any conflicts. Worth thinking about perhaps as there are one or two good free ones. Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate. Log in to reply |
