Pumahunter Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Norten Secutrity Blocked high risk Heur.AdvML.B in Aslains_woT_Modepack_Installer_v.1.14.1.1_00 Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted October 28, 2021 Administrator Posted October 28, 2021 It's caused by your antivir, obviously a false-positive. Quote
Pumahunter Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 its just show up the moment i want Install not at the downlad check. Quote
Syrus Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 A quick search shows Heuristic viruses are no fun. Love Aslain's mods, hate viruses though. Any thoughts? Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted October 28, 2021 Administrator Posted October 28, 2021 There is no such thing like heuristic viruses, heuristic is the detection type, it's the worst possible way to detect viruses, in 99.99% cases you will get fale-positives. Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted October 28, 2021 Administrator Posted October 28, 2021 You can also demand from your AV soft authors to check/remove this false-positive warning. Quote
damdor Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 i have same fault ... only shows on running .. file checked on download ok..., fixed by excluding file in options, rescan once installed .. all ok Quote
Chewmann Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 I too have the same fault. Why is it only showing up with 1.14.1.1 and later. This Norton warning hasn't popped up before. Any thoughts? Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted October 29, 2021 Moderator Posted October 29, 2021 Everytime Aslain compiles the modpack, the structure changes ever so slightly and sometimes heuristics detections can freak out 🙂 Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted October 29, 2021 Administrator Posted October 29, 2021 Also every anti-vir database is changing with their update, and av usually makes updates every day. So they can sometimes add something like that to their detection engine, and it's causing false-positives like this case and every other case from the past. Funny thing is that so many people blindly trust to av software, that they rather skip this modpack version rather than install this. Later, after a while, they download a new version of the modpack, which is no longer tagged with a virus, and think to themselves: "very good that I waited, this modpack version has no virus anymore". Which only keeps them thinking like that... 1 Quote
ACandieCaneKilling Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 I'm getting the same warning and it's quarantining & LOCKING ME OUT of installing the download entirely. So what is the solution here? Do I EXCLUDE IT from the list or potential infections so it just ignores it or what? Do I install the Aslain download or do I need to do something else first? Not sure what to do here. I know the Heur.AdvML.B is not a virus or possible malware itself but rather the detection type used to find / locate said infections. But still, I read the comments but don't see an obvious solutions here. Is Aslain going to change something so this stops happening or is this more of a Norton issue???? Do I wait to install, or do I contact Norton, or do I EXCLUDE the download?? Little help pls :) Candie ^..^ Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted October 29, 2021 Moderator Posted October 29, 2021 Its a Norton issue. None of the other major companies have issues with it. i dont know if Norton has a service to report false positives to. Quote
Angel_Down Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Unable to download direct from Aslains Mod page like always and or WoT Mod Hub...Not sure what is going on since the last patch 2 days ago, but this is what is going on at my end. Hope you have a suggestion, fix or solution as I really can't play Vanilla. Thanks Quote

Angel_Down Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Thank you for taking the time out to help me Quaksen, I truly appreciate everything you've done to help. But my problem after an afternoon of trying different approaches it was after all Norton after all of this. I had to exclude Aslains from the Community Watch folder to get it to run. For the life of me, I haven't a clue how it happened that Aslains was even included...I may have done something, I don't know. But I'm back in business now and once again, Thank You, Angel_Down.

Chewmann Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) All, I contacted Norton about this issue. Unbelievably, they worked with me and were VERY responsive! Here is a link to the thread for anyone who wants to know what I reported and what they responded with. NORTON THREAD Long story short... They scanned the file and checked other sources and nothing came back. Then they, get this, updated their software and included it to their live update. They instructed me to run live update manually run a quick scan run live update again download a fresh version of Aslain's mod pack load it... It worked!!!!! I never expected this kind of service from any big company. Kuddos to Aslain as he is still the KING!!!!! Nothing nefarious to report! Edited October 31, 2021 by Chewmann 1 1 Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted October 31, 2021 Moderator Posted October 31, 2021 That is usually how it ends up going, Aslain has in the past sent his modpack to some of the others when false positives popped up. Not really sure they fix it on their end, maybe they just add some exclusion in their own software, but I doubt it's that simple 😄 Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted October 31, 2021 Administrator Posted October 31, 2021 Told you so, there was nothing to worry. I'm glad that Norton removed this detection in its new update. Quote
Iceman_21 Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 When installing Aslain's WoT ModPack v1.14.1.2 #01 it fails due to Norton Antivirus detecting the Heur.AdvML.B virus and quarantining the Aslains_WoT_Modpack_Installer_v.1.14.1.2_01.tmp file Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted November 1, 2021 Moderator Posted November 1, 2021 Again? LOL. Norton please! (Unless it's the below..) Did you update your Norton? Because have a look at this post: Namely, run live update manually. Quote
fr33dom4all Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) WOT Aslain Program on Install Gives Error: heur.adv.ml.b and I cannot install it as Norton stops the install. Edited November 3, 2021 by fr33dom4all Quote
Moderator Quaksen Posted November 3, 2021 Moderator Posted November 3, 2021 Try updating your Norton, see why I say it in this post by Chewmann: Quote
iain1965 Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 Hi, cannot install latest version, Symantec has identified a virus in the downloaded file, see screenshot. Quote
Yorkie Dave Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Norton AV also warns me of a Heuristic Virus.

You should contact Norton and confirm that I am spreading viruses on my program if you do not trust my judgment. My modpack is hosted by wargaming, do you think they would let players get exposed to the virus? Do you really believe that I would expose hundreds of thousands of my modpack users to virus infection too? So what if some other programs are not detected as infected with the virus? That doesn't prove anything... Quote
