Symantec flagged parts of new download of Fx as virus
« on: June 29, 2010, 12:21:47 AM »
Hi folks,

It has been set straight now as being a FP, but Symantec flagged Fx browser as http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Clarification-on-WS-Reputation-1-detection/td-p/232155
Something in the latest browser code caused this FP
FPs are going to happen, Avira has them, Norton, McAfee, so what going to happen in Australia where the use of a resident av solution and a firewall is going to be obligatory for every user?
