Hey there as soon as I try to use mcskin3d Norton removes it, detecting it as a threat , which is really annoying because I don't know how to prevent this from happening. Anyone know how to fix this problem? :S

FIXED :3
what I did in case anyone else is feeling the struggle:
0. Restart you comuder
1. Mine was grumbling that it wanted me to scan, so in a rage I allowed it to do so.
2. After scanning and removing the cookies it cares so much more about than I do, it then enabled me to use the interface again as in I could actually CLICK on stuff ¬ ¬ stupid Norton
3. I was then able to access security history again and exclude the program from Norton's clutches#
So yeah thanks for the responses everyone- not really sure why it messed up in the first place but oh well problem solved.

ok but seriously people, yes norton doesnt work but if OP wants to keep it there is some pretty easy steps to take.
When the file is blocked there should be a popup that says "norton has blocked (file).exe from running" or something along the lines of that - click on more details. It will open up the norton screen and you can take the file out of quarantine permanently and norton will ignore the file. Its pretty simple

that's the problem, usually that does pop-up and from there I usually remove what was quarantined/ However, when I try to run the program it just silently removes it from the computer without my permission. Then, when I go onto Norton it does not allow me to click anywhere and or anything.
Click to reveal
And I didn't buy it my mother and father did for all the computers in the house -.- so please stop prejudicing against me for being a PC noob

Yup, Norton is really bad at its job, so just wait till your subscription ends and uninstall the -no- out of it. The reason I say that is because on my old pc Norton WOULD NOT UNINSTALL and I had to do a system restore to get rid of it ._.

Why would you actually spend money on Norton...? lol
Every time my boyfriend has a gaming-related problem, it's Norton's fault, whether it's silently deleting files added from a Steam update or blocking his internet connection to games like Guild Wars 2.
In addition to all these suggestions, you could also just disable Norton while you download McSkin3D, unless of course it's also detecting it as a virus when you try to run it to make some skins.

If I was you, I wouldn't wait for the subscription to end, kill it with fire now.

Wait and then Get Avast!!!

It is possible to CANCEL Norton removing things (follow the steps!);
1: let it delete it. Norton should put a small pop-up on the screen saying:
___ has been deleted.
2: go to details. in the pop-up there is a blue sentence that says: see details. click
the see details sentance.
3: there should a button there that says something like Restore. click that button.
YOU ARE SET!

Thanks everyone there's a good mix of advice I can work with from all of that I'll explore my Norton's activity as well like IrishChaos suggested ^-^
Thanks everyone though I do wonder why Norton only recently started blocking it o.o"

In the settings there should be a disable for amount of time. I dont have norton anymore so I dont remeber.

Norton is like a virus itself, almost impossible to get rid of completely, and sometimes detects things as viruses when they aren't, and doesn't detect viruses when there is at some times.
Make sure that you get rid of every file that is a part of Norton when your subscription is over.
You could also just disable it whenever you want to use mcskin3d, and if that doesn't work I don't know...

I had that error before, Im not too sure how I fixed it, though Im pretty sure theres a way to allow in the options, try googling some tutorial or something?

almost everyone that uses Norton has had this problem. re-installing doesn't seem to work either. I would suggest to wait until your subscription wears off, and then get a new program.

Re-installing worked for me :/

Kind of spent money on it though... so would prefer not to change it until the subscription wears off ;o;

Get rid of Norton, it has alot of false detections...
