You completely missed the point.

Well, duh. I even said I didn't see it. What's the point in telling me I didn't get the point when I said I didn't see it in the first place?

Anyway, now I see it... I have to say, it was very hard to see on that background! Thanks dancrum for pointing it out for me!

I can't even open it... Gets an error saying it's corrupt... HELP

When I try to install the patcher Norton finds it as a virus, I turned it off but when I try to open the patcher, it doesn't do anything. This is the first time it happens. I don't know what I have to do to fix it.

Did you redownload it after you turned off Norton?
If not, go do it.

Also, recommended to uninstall Norton ASAP and install MSE.
Norton is utter garbage.

I noticed a bug with the pathcer: The tall grass isn't show how it is supposed to be shown.


If you can't see it: yhe grass is hanging over the edge of the block. Is it possible for you to fix this?

I'm not the op but I went back and checked again on a clean install (no mods or anything and it actually is reproduced on that one. At least we can't say MCPatcher caused it.

Here is the same issue on a clean install. Even generated a new world.



Update: I posted a twitter message to @notch about this since it occurs on an unmodified/clean install.

Norton may be "garbage" by your standard but my ISP gives it to me free and it says there is a virus.

Never turn off your virus scanner. People who tell you that are trying to bypass your scanner to install malware.

LOL Bullshit.

Odds are if you are using Norton you already have a boatload of Malware, quite honestly turning it off won't make too big of a difference.
Anyway, Norton is clearly falsely detecting MCPatcher as a trojan, disable it and redownload MCPatcher and then try again.

More like WS.WeAreMoronsWhoCan'tDetectViruses.LULZ.

MSE is free too.
Norton is Garbage by anyone who has even basic knowledge of Computers' standards.

MSE is free for EVERYONE who owns Windows and it ISN'T utter shit.

but he isn't the one that made this patcher and he didn't recommended turning it off but to install a different one, one that actually works.

WS.Reputation.1

I think you quoted the wrong post.

Anyways Norton has a pretty bad reputation in itself and WS.Reputation.1 is a pretty generic flag.

I rescanned at virustotal.com and it came back 0 out of 42 scanners flagged it. The file is clean and your software is giving a false positive. Make sure it's up to date.

http://www.virustota...3e4b-1306452801

P.S. - If you still want to use Since you use Norton then it may be a good idea to report the false positive to them. This url is their form to do just that. I wish I had this back when I tried out their software. They were less than helpful and never offered it to me on a previous attempt to assist.

https://submit.syman...false_positive/

You can give them my virustotal url link above since it's going to ask for it anyways. The md5 is provided on the first post of this thread already. Yes it will ask for that as well.

EDIT: Here is a clarification from Norton's forums -- http://community.nor...ion/td-p/232155

Quote

WS.Reputation.1 is a detection for files that have a low reputation score based on analyzing data from Symantec’s community of users and therefore are likely to be security risks. Detections of this type are based on Symantec’s reputation-based security technology. Because this detection is based on a reputation score, it does not represent a specific class of threat like adware or spyware, but instead applies to all threat categories.

The reputation-based system uses "the wisdom of crowds" (Symantec’s tens of millions of end users) connected to cloud-based intelligence to compute a reputation score for an application, and in the process identify malicious software in an entirely new way beyond traditional signatures and behavior-based detection techniques.

In other words it a low-reputation marker that is most likely due to the fact that's it's a relatively new file. I'd ignore the warning by Norton given the definition behind this.


EDIT: Just clarifying this post... Some text is being striked out and new text added.

Seriously though your telling me that MSE (Microsoft security essentials?) is better than Norton. I have to laugh at that man MS total care and live one or whatever from a few years ago were utter garbage. I've heard good things about bit defender but I got no complaints from Norton Security Suite. Granted I know Norton had a bad rep and I wouldn't use it if my ISP didn't provide it free.

[whitewolf2012]

Thats cool I didn't mean to offend I used to fix computers for people who downloaded and installed crap after being told to disable their virus scanner. It always sends up a red flag.

Please oh please use the correct reply button. You are replying to the wrong post and it's going to confuse anyone.

Ahh... I see this post was directed at me somewhat. Yes they did have a bad reputation and since their support was less than helpful for me and the numerous issues I used to come across with on Norton when I used to do technical support kinda kept it that way. They fixed the performance issue but their false positive rate is still way up there. Anyways that's enough from me since this line of topic doesn't have anything to do with the op and I was only responding to the original message that was mistakenly replied to mine.

FYI - I never recommended to use MSE. A couple of others did. I personally use MSE but everyone is entitled to use whatever security software they choose to. Regardless of what others recommend.

MS Total Care WAS garbage.
But they got their act together with MSE.

MSE is definitely one of the best Antiviruses.

I would only use MSE or NOD32.

Hehehe... Or laptop depending on what's going on. I hope the op can look into the weird artifacts that's occuring and resolve them. I suspect they may be linked into the Advanced OpenGL setting that has disappeared now. It may be permanently on. It was noted before that Occlusion Culling may of been causing artifacts in the game in 1.5.

the only bugs i've had in 1.6 is servers don't work alltogether... no artifacts yet.
