Question: Is norton flagging Ren'Py as containing a virus?

It does contain an executable... I don't know, how does a holy Hindi Banyan tree send its roots into the sky and still live on for thousands of years? Maybe it was through Internet wyrms. :lol:

Ergh, aren't there online antivirus scanning aggregators for these kind of mistaken situations?

I don't know with latest Norton (2010), but older Norton (2007) never scan Ren'Py as containing a virus.

My brother couldn't use the game I told him to download at http://evc-cit.info/psych018/hypothesis ... -win32.zip; Norton didn't like it. He is using Norton 2010 Internet Security, v 17.5.0.127

The zip file was built on a Linux box, so I'm pretty sure there's no Windows virus introduced from the build machine.
