Norton flagging several files from libGDX as malicious and removing the files about phasereditor HOT 3 CLOSED

I don't have the dll's because of linux but I get no threats in linux for anything libgdx wise, been using libgdx for years, it's probably just nortons throwing a false positive as stated in that thread you can contact nortons to report false positives.
Libgdx has no control over what a antivirus throws out as a threat

Here's where you can report false positives: https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/

Just to add a temp fix for this for windows users if you read the thread you will notice this is not a threat but as it states It has a problem, is not warning

The thread although it was written in 2012 should still be valid
http://www.badlogicgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6769

if you read the 4th thread by Soiuz it will show you a temp fix for this issue.

For MS Security Essentials you go to Settings\Excluded Files and add AppData\Local\Temp\jnigen and libgdx dirs. At least this is what i did and had no issues since then.

not sure if it is the same way for nortons or not (I don't use windows) but it might help.
Just thought I would throw that in for a quick fix.
Hope it helps

Thanks @cdelstad for reporting this issue. Reading the LibGDX developer comment, we can say it is not a real threat. However, we use LibGDX specially for Audio playback and texture packing, so in future releases we could find a better way to playback audio and keep only with the texture packing algortithm, it means, we could remove all DLL dependencies from LibGDX.
