    The free Panda Cloud antivirus is reporting the web site as dangerous

    I think this is a false positive.
    The Panda Toolbar is reporting that the web site/download of GPU-Z is dangerous.
    This is happening on WinXP SP3 + Internet Explorer 8 as web browser (latest versions of Firefox and Google Chrome produce the same result as IE).
    The problem is on the last step of the GPU-Z download, clicking the download link produces the screenshot attached.
    (I am also attaching a screenshot showing the OS and antivirus versions info.)
    Please contact Panda Security and tell them they should not report the web site/download link this way.

    Thanks!

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
