Hello I followed all of the installation instructions on my Windows 7 PC. Everything went fine until I launched Discovery Freelancer and then, when connecting to the default server, the app crashed and Norton 360 reported that it found a threat and needed to restart my PC. After it rebooted, I found the log report in the Norton Security History, pasted below. Apparently there is a SONAR.ProcHijack!g45 virus in this app somewhere. I couldn't find out much about SONAR.ProcHijack!g45 online. Anyone else experience this or have some insight as to what is going on here?
Filename: freelancer.exe
Threat name: SONAR.ProcHijack!g45Full Path: Not Available
