TFAR flagged as an Unsafe Download
« on: February 03, 2016, 10:08:59 AM »
I went through the mod list, and everything went well until I started downloading TFAR from the google drive. It was flagged as unsafe, and I'm curious as to why that is and if anyone else has seen that before.

Most likely just an overactive/protective antivirus that you are using. If you are downloading it from the 506th google drive then it will definitely be virus free. Hundreds of us have downloaded it from those links.

In the past Norton has deleted some of my TFAR files but its no big deal.

After fussing with a few methods, it appears that downloading it via Chrome seems to work vice Internet Explorer. Thanks for the insight!

Yeah, no sometimes things will get flagged from your anti-virus.  You just need to know what's trusted and what is not.
