Norton Power Eraser - False Positive

Issue #2630 invalid
Ryan Walker created an issue

Hello

I was doing a sudden search of a virus on my computer after seeing mine being manually controlled!! I was using Norton Power Eraser to find more embedded viruses opposed to a normal antivirus.

Nothing came up on the other scans, but I had Launchbox come up in the search results as "Bad" on Power Eraser. I'm going to assume this is just a false positive or in the unlikely event a virus has attached itself onto it, but never came up in the past. I thought to send the event log to review just in case something relevant comes across.

    Thank you Ryan, though unfortunately there's never anything we can do about false positives; generally they're just the result of poorly designed anti-virus programs.
