Download infected?

Post by bluckster »

Just tried install and got this from Norton Internet Security. Can you please guide me as to whether there is a reason for my concern on this or why not. NIS removes the file after download with this explanation:

Type:
Other
Risk Impact:
High
Systems Affected:
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000
Behavior
WS.Reputation.1 is a detection for files that have a low reputation score based on analyzing data from Symantec’s community of users and therefore are likely to be security risks. Detections of this type are based on Symantec’s reputation-based security technology. Because this detection is based on a reputation score, it does not represent a specific class of threat like adware or spyware, but instead applies to all threat categories.

The reputation-based system uses "the wisdom of crowds" (Symantec’s tens of millions of end users) connected to cloud-based intelligence to compute a reputation score for an application, and in the process identify malicious software in an entirely new way beyond traditional signatures and behavior-based detection techniques.

It's a false positive, bluckster.
Follow this mini guide how to restore a false positive from quarantine. It's with a different file but the procedure is the same.
