There's only one thing scarier than that,
and thats the fact that you use a Nortons product, o_0
the mind boggles...

I got this notice here at work this morning as well. Also from Norton... so likely it's a false positive.

The symantec corporate edition has been good to me. (and the hundreds of machines I've used it with) The new spyware stuff in 10 catches things that some folks really wouldn't call 'spyware'. But sometimes it provides an eyebrow raiser, at least.

Agreed. The consumer symantec stuff isn't nearly as efficient.

(All my experiences with the product have been the corp editions, too... I have it running on 1400+ PCs currently, and I'm pretty happy with it.)

Well I'm pretty sure I didn't put any spyware in it
.
Interestingly it only seems to be norton that decides it has spyware (for whatever reason), I think if you check for the symptoms:
eg.
Creates the following files:
* %UserDesktop%\StatWin.SeeStat - Statistics viewer.lnk
...
you should find they don't exist
.
Another interesting fact, norton throws up the same information about the EF Echelon setup.

They're in entirely different classes. Symantec's enterprise-grade antivirus is excellent.
