Re: Norton Antivirus 2010 false detects cygpath.exe, mkpasswd.exe, mkgroup.exe
So true. I have ran sanity scans on totalvirus dot com and posted the
results on the norton forum. I also updated to their most recent
version and still got it. In addition I got a red flag on a different
product which I know is also safe so I have notified them about that.
In the meantime I have switched to an alternative product which I have
used in the past.
