Good news on the false positive front. Norton AV seams to have finally gotten it through it�s rather thick head that the hadan3p_afr tasks don�t contain a virus.

I presently have one of these tasks running and while it is only been running for about 90 minutes, the fact that it is running at all is encouraging. Norton Av has killed off several of these tasks on that machine within a few seconds of starting.

Good news indeed. I wonder if Avast and others have also cottoned on. I still wonder if they don't do anything about it till they get a certain number of people complaining?
