After downloading the Beta open client and install I restarted my PC (Was upgrading my video drivers) An this pop up as I was loading back into windows.
SONAR detect a possible threat named CrypticErrer.exe, was able to remove so no action needed.
I look into details and it came from the STO install folder, I am going with a hunch that the Exe is actual the bug report thing. Was wondering how important this program is to the over all beta game. Here is more infor on my Antivirus.
Norton Internet Security 2010 with up to date definations, has firewall and a program called SONAR which predicts if a file might be a virus/trojin.
Though I let you know sense this is Beta and do not know if anyone else might run into this, thanks if you reply.
SONAR is notorious for false-positives. It works by seeing how many other times it has seen that file on other computers. For new things like a game that release quickly, it tends to get grumpy.

would we encounter any problems if it auto removes/ dumps it in quarantine ? whatever the crypticerror.exe is
Both Norton and now AVG have turned into bloatware eating memory and causing too many alarms.. IMHO..
Malwarebytes should be a necessity IMHO for someone using a computer. NOD32 and AVG free edition are also really good pieces of software. Everyone has their own opinions though, but everyone should really have malwarebytes.
I have been running Avast ans Spybot and to lesser extent win defender since i cant uninstall the dang thing.. and i have only gotten 1 repeat 1 piece of spyware in 2 years.. No single virus has made it close to my machine. of course they have to get threw hardware firewall first then rest..

/agree... only 2 things you need (well 3)
1. Microsoft updates
2. Malwarebyte's
3. Hijack This.

AVG was great but now you have to pay for it not to be bloat ware is all i was complaining about.. if you buy it theres is a big difference in the amount of resources it takes up.. is all im saying..
AVG has gone downhill some in the past year or so.
Your best current "free" antivirus is prolly Avast IMO.
As for the other scanners listed I mostly agree with maly and hijack.
Best defense is a good offense and PCs are no difference. Starts with a good browser, patches, and some common fricking sense.

Unfortunately what, to you and I, is common sense, is black magic to most users. There is so much info on this wonderful thing called the internet this day and age, yet some people don't even know how to use a simple search in forums.

I have been a user of AVG for many years. Started with Free and then moved on to full internet security. Version 8 was a pretty cool version but the new version 9 is a nightmare regards its firewall.
I have never had any problems while using AVG. No virus as ever got into my system. The ID protection with the paid version is first class.
I agree that MalwareBytes is fantastic. Theres also 2 sites here that can help with scanning individual files. These sites scan your selected file with every major and some minor AVs and so on.

I have to agree with this statement.
Best Paid: NOD32
Best Free: MSE
MSE actually has a better detection rate then AVG if you get over the fact its made by Microsoft.

Router firewall/windows firewalls help also.

Threatfire also can be handy cause it masks all keystrokes at the Kernal level which is pretty handy to stop keyloggers.
A-Squared is another handy one and I also use this site to check if my programs have any vulnerabilities.

A few other handy programs. Use google.
Spywareblaster - Stops malicious sites before they even have chance to load in your browser by blocking there IP addresses.
Spybot Seek and Destroy - Malware scanner
Update Checker from Filehippo.
Is there a NOD64?
CrypticError is, if I remember, the error-reporting process that gathers info and transmits it to Cryptic if your application crashes.
I have to agree with this statement.
Best Paid: NOD32
