    False Positive for AV

    It's common to nearly all anti-virus software these days to have some false positives, it's sort of a "Better safe than sorry" philosophy. Most good ones let you dismiss false positives though in my experience. An example would be a blacklisted EXE name. I used to play a game that had an executable names "Joshua.exe" Aparantly a common virus also used that name, and the AV went nuts. Fortunately in my case I was able to whitelist the application.
