faforever.exe flagged in Norton

2016-03-21T23:12:08+02:00

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
