My brother was scanning his PC this weekend as w were installing and playing another game (League of Legends) and his Norton whatever (not a fan of Norton myself) identified a threat [WS.Reputation.1] on his PC in the [faforever.exe] file. The install was from back in 9/15 (File date 3/15) so isn't current, if it was even an actual threat because based on the name I wonder if its not triggering on code in the file that has legitimate use but has a common sequence to some threat Norton has catalogued. Might be old news now, but figured you guys should know in case there is a problem. Here is the info from Norton.
Filename: faforever.exe
Threat name: WS.Reputation.1Full Path: f:\program files (x86)\forged alliance forever\faforever.exe
