Virus warning?
I received a virus warning an automatic removal when clicking update from the Start8 menu. Is this a known bug? Thanks in advance.
Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.

This is just Norton being stupid.
If they know nothing about a file they like to claim it might be a virus. I will let you imagine what incentive they might have for making their users think they are saving them from a non existent threat.
It is perfectly safe to ignore it.
