I also saw that ad and I think it's probably not appropriate for FAF - we're all exposed to ads online, but I think we've in the past expected FAF ads to be mopre obvious.

Easy to fix - in the top right corner of the ad there's a little 'play' arrow - should say something like ad choices - clicking on it will bring up a menu saying is this ad what you would like to see - there is an option iirc "I do not believe this is appropriate for this site" - hit that one - and it shouldnt come back.

You probably clicked on the big banner ad that likes to show up that says "Start Download", yes? Yeah, don't click that.

I don't have any trouble with Microsoft Security Essentials either - it's free, gets regular updates via Windows Update, doesn't eat a whole lot of resources while it's running, etc. Norton might just freak out because of the direct link to the MSI package on the page, or maybe a bad ad got into the rotation somehow. Not sure since I haven't seen ads on any Web site for years.

Have Avast and never heard a thing using this site.

Why do people pay for norton when there are equal programs for free?? Simple, the thing about Norton is the more noise it makes and the more sites it says its protecting you from the more likely you are to pay them every year.

Nothing a format C:/ won't solve. If I were to get a PC from someone else, it would be the 2nd thing I do (the first one being a basic check if the whole thing boots up properly).

In fact, I do this with notebooks as well. Brand new from the box: I turn 'm on and after five minutes it's formatting.

And Norton... yeah

This is why you don't use Norton in the first place.

Galactic war is currently in a working (but not very well) condition and is fairly quiet at the moment because of this. There are a few things zep needs to fix for it to get going properly again. However more players playing it will make it look less dead and hopefully attract even more players and maybe those fixes.

Sorry I was just wondering if there was something i should know about because this is an old site I didn't know if it had been discontinued

I also figured it was probably just my norton because it wasn't always my PC it belonged to my mom but it got handed down because I needed it for college but as it turns out my mom has no idea what the words DRIVER UPDATE and ANTI VIRIUS UPDATE mean every year when she renewed her norton membership she thought buying it every year was auto-magickly updating it, so of course I face-palmed and (while removing my palm from the back of my skull) tried to repair the damage the 7 years of abuse my mother did to the Poor PC but the drivers are still from 2009 (2006 PC) and Norton shits itself on a daily basis

By the way u guys still do galactic war?

Norton ? lol
Disable temporary this Anti-Virus and download FAF.

or change your Anti-Virus, "Anti-Vir" "MSE" is good.
