Hey guys,
I have a lot of experience with computer hardware and software, but on antivirus I'm a newbie. I am playing Call of Duty Black Ops, and this guy released a mod for it, and it comes with a loader.exe to load the mod. But Norton says there's a virus in it called Suspicious.Cloud.2. The guy who released the mod claims it is unrightfully being labeled as a virus. Is it possible? I thought that if it was indeed unrightfully labeled as a virus, it would be seen as a trojan?
Anyway, I just need to know if there is a chance that this is indeed an actual virus and what the creator of it could potentially do with it?
Thanks in advance. Here's a screenshot:

Is it possible an av thinks a legitimate file is malicious? Yes. Is that the case with this particular file? I don't know.

What is the point of having antivirus if you ignore its warnings if you don't like them? Or prefer to believe a "mod releaser" who is already the wrong side, if not the law, then of the rules of many gaming sites.
I Googled a discussion of one hack for Call of duty: Black Ops, people wondered if Norton was wrongly detecting it, here are some of the comments I found...
If you download this, say good bye to your steam account.
This is a f****** virus you MORONS. It steals your steam account
It is a VIRUS and does not work. I'm not saying that because I don't like cheaters because I was going to use it but it is a load of crap.
(This is a good one)...
how do you remove the exe that keeps running every time it starts up windows?
i lol'd @ every stupid noobs who downloaded this ROFL
