Not exactly on main topic, but:
At one point I was doing some contract work for an outfit that did AV as a kind of
side issue. We kept getting reports from customers that "Symantec/Norton says
we are infected with X" (or Y, or Z). I spent many hours tracking down these
reports, and eventually came to the conclusion that Symantec was generating a
whole bunch of signatures for things that weren't viruses, and weren't even
malware. (Symantec never was my favourite AV when I was reviewing, and after
that I just ignored it completely.)

they form of everyone they know. - Friedrich Nietzsche
