Today I started getting messages from Norton telling me that it found Adware.CPush on my machine, specifically in the file C:\Program Files\SecondLife\uninst.exe
Well I figured I'd download and install SL again and Norton said the installed was also Adware.CPush which based on the description I'm 99.9% sure is a false positive. http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2007-031215-0744-99&tabid=1 Anyone else getting this? |

norton for the most part is retarded, ive written c programs that do not even connect to the internet that has poped up a spyware notice
seriously do yourself a favor, turn that crap off, regain half your computers power and just manually run it every cupple weeks to keep clean oh and get firefox, it unlike internet exploder does NOT install software live off of the web without notification |

Virus definitions 7/15/2007 rev. 2 reported the SL installers as a virus.
Virus definitions 7/16/2007 rev. 21 do not. |

IS&T Going nuts at my work because of this
07-16-2007 13:16
Most of my work associates run SL, and our IT is going nuts with the False reports from SL's uninstal.exe. Its nice having a central system to block and remove infected systems from our network. But having 40 plus people (most of our software development team) loose network access is a pain! The work around IS&T is mark it as a false.
The real kicker is we have a positive hit for this last week. LOL |
