I have no doubt that the accused file is 'innocent', most likely a 'false positive' detection by this mainstream anti-virus product, but it's something worthy of both Adobe's and Norton's attention for at least these reasons:
- Adobe would not want its distributions accused of being an unwitting delivery vehicle of a trojan.
- Adobe would not want a legitimate, wrongly accused component of its system quarantined because that could lead to a crash at worst or diminished function at best from one or more of their products.
- Norton would not want to be caught indicting a reputable product without cause, because that diminishes its product's credibility.
My work has not been hindered or interrupted. So, I share this solely for Adobe's benefit.
Here's the error report as text. Screen shots follow.
