{ just to stir the pot a bit... }

Since I monitor many virus News Groups, including Symantec's, I have come across *many*
False Positive declarations from many AV vendors.

I recently (10/6) dealt with one situation by Symantec in reference to; iun6002.exe which
was falsely declared as a Trojan.Dropper.

Then there was the case of Symantec falsely declaring Backdoor.Graybird (9/16) in was a temp
file created by Spy Sweeper.

I'm still wondering when Avast will stop falsely declaring the VBS/RedLof in Trend Micro's
sysclean utility.
