Symantec Adware.CPush
I didn't see a topic on this near the top of the forums. Just thought I would throw it out there that starting yesterday, a few of my NSIS installers have been detected as Adware.CPush by Symantec.

Needless to say, its a real pain dealing with the quarantine.

Reminds me of when Symantec flagged the LZMA compression as a virus a little while back. :confused:

A few seconds ago I submitted a false positive report to Symantec regarding this issue. With any luck the problem should be fixed in a short while (it's a *real* pain when the AV catches (and quarantines!) our internet based software updates before the file even finishes downloading!!)
