Odd, Symantec labels "correct", thousands of viruses just to mention one area of their products line, and a single oss program gets the red flag. Microsoft Windows always allowed installers in the past as I remember; will it be the norm with Vista, that outside installers, (and other software) are marked as spyware ?.

This is hardly a big surprise, at least for MS' software to do it. After all, they have the **only** email service I know of that consistently allows porn sites and various types of obvious junk mail and spam through, yet inexplicably only seem to "correctly" recognize the names of legitimate competitors, software venders, news forums, programmer help sites, etc., and immediately designates "all" of them as spam. lol
