Patch 1.42 Problems (Virus/Malware warning)

[DannyManny07]

Just as stated, my Anti-Virus indicates the files either have viruses or malware, or are generally unsafe. Despite applying exceptions to the file, the installation was only partial, and some files cannot be installed. Could someone be kind enough to explain this, or tell me if they've had similar issues?

Get a better anti-virus, the patch is the retail Black & White files with some minor tweaks that can all be found here: https://github.com/openblack/bw1-patches

Wonder if I can. I use Norton because it blocks hostile attacks from popup websites - to the point that they just get instantly closed down. I have a 10 year subscription to it, and I have 5 more years to go.
Would be nice if the files that get installed by the patcher were just extractable like from a winrar/zip file, then I could add those files to the exception list in Norton one by one, but since the files do not even get placed in the folders but are blocked, I can't do that.
But if someone could find the specific files that get installed, I could just add them into the folders directly.

Unlucky you paid for snake oil.

At least I didn't pay much at the time. Discount was 50%. lol
