I have access to both Norton and Kaspersky, but currently have Norton installed on my machine. No matter what I do disabling aspects of Norton it deletes the dvm.dll file. Does Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 allow you to install it? If it does I'll swap it onto my gaming machine. Butcher Bay was one of those games I always wanted to try.

Can't you create exclusions/exceptions for files/folders with Norton ?

I have Kaspersky IS 2012 installed and KIS allowed Riddick to download, install and run without complaint. Just ran a scan on the install folder and no virus found 8)

Kaspersky File Advisor tells me that the file dvm.dll 'became known today' and less than 10 people have 'used this application'.

Further, a scan of the dvm.dll file on VirusTotal shows 15/42 anti-virus programs are flagging the file - Symantec aren't listed as one of the 15 vendors flagging this file alongside Kaspersky, Microsoft, F-Secure, BitDefender, Avast! and AVG. (refer to https://www.virustotal.com/file/ca8fe8d6f44f7503735d7a664e3809254ba120a8b306a6fd180a5f467f62661a/analysis/1341901905/)

Personally I think the dvm.dll file is a false posttive.

I second the opinion of using KIS, I have it on my machine and it let me install the game fine and I am playing it now without problems.

I sent the file to Kaspersky for analysis to obtain a definitive answer. I doubt they'll find anything as it would have been flagged already by the file anti-virus or by the PDM module.

Cheers.

Norton Security Suite you can't add a folder just a file to the exception list, and the file has to be on your computer already to do so. However, even with everything disabled it's still automatically deleting the file.

Sounds like KIS is the way for me to go. Thanks all!

You'd probably have to change the action Norton takes from 'delete' to 'quarantine' or something like that so that the AV secures the file but without deleting it, giving you a chance to then whitelist the file.

But yeah, if you have another AV on hand that doesn't flag the file that will work.
