Norton False Readings about Dolphin?

caramba2654 · 02-23-2011, 05:46 AM #1

I downloaded the .exe Dolphin installer and Norton recognized it as a virus. I know Dolphin is a trustful emulator, so it download also is. So my question is: Has anyone hacked into the installer and put a virus or is MediaFire putting a virus in the installer?

Where did you download it from? Dolphin doesn't come with an installer
(Edit: As in, from where were you linked to mediafire)

I clicked on the last one (because the other ones are patches, right?) for Win 64bit. The it didn't started the download. So I clicked to link and it went to MediaFire.

There has been false positives before, I'm guessing you get warnings because it's a self extracting file, which it probably isn't able to check the content from.

So it's safe anyways. Thanks for the info!

That "Release Candidate" is something like 2000 revisions old, there have been significant enhancements since then... I suggest you download a newer version.
