NSIS installer / uninstaller marked as Adware by Symantec
Since I scanned my computer today
Symantec Corporate Anti-Virus recognized NSIS installers / uninstallers as Adware.BargainBuddy

It recoginzes an own installer as well as the installer for the newest catalyst drivers as Adware :-(

More Info the the adware:

It's really a shame that Symantec is sooo stupid to not have a whitelist or any other kind of quality control to even add a well known and often used installer als Adware to their definitions...

I couldn't find any page on their website to report this. Please use their quarantine program to send the "infected" installer to them along with an explanation that it's false positive. Feel free to give them my e-mail address in case they need more information about anything related to NSIS.
