I'd suggest temporarily disabling your a/v client before downloading and patching the RoM client. Re-enable it after patching.

Nortons firewall is blocking the patch from downlaoding it says runes patcher is downloading supsicous files and terminates the download

That's at least a bad advice. If AV software treats a trusted download as a risk probability there are some things that might be happening:
-av software might be compromised.
-system might be compromised
-source download can really infected.
In any case av software should never be disabled. If you have doubts about the source of the download, find some friend / relative that have another kind of AV software and try to download from the same source. By doing this you're avoidint at least 40% of hack attempts.

Yep Norton isn't letting me download the patch either. Guess I wont play until the game will allow me to download it.....

Norton sucks that is all.

Sorry to hear you can't download the patch. Happens to someone every patch.

Just disable your Norton so that the patch can download. You can re-enable it again afterward.

Norton and McCafee are notorious for taking over the computer. They will often flag safe files as suspicious and even some games as infected. I ahd no problem at all with this patch but I run AVG. It looks like those with Norton and McCafee are having the most problems with htis patch.

Unfortunately, and as MegaMouse also said, Norton, McAfee, and several other a/v clients are a tad bit overaggressive, and in some ways, are behind the curve. A number of the temp files produced when the patches are uncompressed have a dollar sign ($) in the filename. Way back in the day, that character was used in malware files. This is why Norton, McAfee, and several other a/v clients flag our temp files as being malware. Malware writers are far more sophisticated now, and no longer use that character in their little gift packages.

So, when downloading and installing patch files for RoM, as I said, it is perfectly acceptable to temporarily disable your a/v client. After downloading and patching, re-enable the client, and you're good to go.
