I just tried downloading the MD-88 from this website, and as it was downloading, Norton Antivirus said that the download gave me a trojan. Is this supposed to happen. The virus was called Downloader-OG.

This has never happened to me before. Were you surfing the web other than DVA's site while downloading? If so, this is where the problem may have been. Has it happened each and every time you tried downloading?
Regards.

I was only on Delta VA's site when I downloaded, and it has come up twice in every plane download for Delta I have done. Some error messages also came up while downloading.

Daniel, I've gotten the same thing from the fleet installer. I erased the planes and decided to just download from avsim instead.

Uhm... that's bull...
I've got NAV 2005 (fully updated) and haven't got any warning. There's something else in your computer that has nothing to do with the installer, but wants to go and activate itself using the installer.
Cheers!

The Fleet Installers contain a DLL that hooks into your Internet Explorer installation to download sound packages and communicate with the Delta Virtual Airlines web site. Some anti-virus packages will mistakenly identify this as a Trojan, but it is working as designed.

Oh, that makes sense. I've never had that happen to me before though. I also use Norton.

Ok, I think Luke's right. When the warning comes up, it says the trojan's file was deleted. At the end of the installation, another error messages comes up saying that the sound package was not correctly installed.

Disable your AV software during the download and install. Should take care of it.
