Why hello good people of the tremulous forum. Today I will state to you an entertaining event that happened to me.

 Im casually editing my map. Getting my elevator or ship shape. And I think to myself: Why not have a test run and enjoy my creation? And so I begin the compile and guess what happens...

Netradiant closes. So I think 'how bizzare?' Then my norton 360 (preinstalled as im working on family computer) blinks at me and says it has quarantined my Netradiant.exe. It had gone and stuck my exe, my way of using radiant, into a temporary jail cell. So I check out my folders, its gone, everthing else is there, but my exe. I searched the norton software and finnaly found a way to bail him out. Now im happy and dont have to find a new exe.

Feel free to comment and discuss about similar instances where your sh*tware had a go at stopping your mapping needs.

But also please comment if you know why the netradiant.exe could be a potential 'high risk threat' as stated to me.

Goodnight people of the good forum community who could be bothered to read this semi-pointless tale.

Dr. A. Goon

A school copy of kapersky almost removed my entire tremulous directory when I changed the resolution. It was beautiful.

Just today I was closing my internet browser when mapping. The screen turned black, then BSODe'ed on me. I was afriad and angry, but the conputer turned out fine, but my map went unsaved for...10 minuites.
these are stupid suggestions, don't even waste our time.
I don't like your negative attitude.
