Thats why I have gone away from Norton and free AV-Software. They are not always knowing what they are doing.
The "crack", its more a loader, has a rootkit package included. Its fine.

Yeah this time norton isnt the culprit for false reports.


Its called scaremongering, they see something similar to a trojan/virus and the program raises shields and goes nuts.


Ever since symantec did this system of figuring out if a known virii has varients just by extrapolating, its all gone down hill.

That system is called "heuristics" and it works very well, IF designed properly. (See F-Prot and NOD32 for two good examples and a lot of others for bad ones.)

Yeah, I mean what it does is scaremongering, creating a sense of insecurity when there is none.

Perhaps. However, false positives are still much better than false negatives!
