Hi PandaDude,

This is Mike from the Norton Authorized Support Team responding to your question.

The "infostealer.Lineage" is a know Trojan infection that attempts to send your password to the creator of the game. To ensure that private information is not being sent, you should not download anything from this site. To make sure that you are not infected, please run LiveUpdate from within Norton and then perform a "Full System scan" with Norton to check for infections.  If Norton does detect infections, follow the instructions to remove the infection and then perform a Full System Scan again.

For additional information regarding this infection, including manual removal instructions, please visit the following page.
