    mod 4.0 installer...Trojan -false positive ??

    just passing norton with a full scan and the 4.0 installer.exe identified this file as having a trojan payload....both SEP and Norton confirmed it

    now based on the fact that Norton and Symantec endpoint protection (SEP) originate from the same melting pot I am unable to confirm whether this is a false positive or not...
    anybody had similar issues ?

    Yes, is a false positive.

    From symantec page:
    Trojan.Gen is a generic detection for many individual but varied Trojans for which specific definitions have not been created. A generic detection is used because it protects against many Trojans that share similar characteristics.

    Translation:
    Since there are a lot of trojans that we don't know about, we detect everything that does certain things (like the installer using extracting files) to be on the safe side.

    -S-


    I had the same problem...on one download of the 4.0 mod the 2 files came separate, I scanned each one separate and the scan came up clean (Norton), when I scanned them

    together in the folder..the scan showed the Trojan Gen.
