I do not know of anyone locally that uses Norton's A.V. suite. I use Comodo [like the dragon] for the free Internet Suite. I do not know how hard it would be to remove a false-positive, but I have been using it since I started using Vista. Now it gets installed on every system I get my hands on that needs a "working" suite of security packages.
Now - can you work around a false-positive with Norton's? I know that there is some with Comodo, more with the firewall than the a.v. but it is there somewhere. I just do not use Windows much anymore to need it for the a.v. part.
