February 15, 2012 3:15:47 PM Type: Other Risk Impact: High Systems Affected: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Behavior WS.Reputation.1 is a detection for files that have a low reputation score based on analyzing data from Symantec’s community of users and therefore are likely to be security risks. Detections of this type are based on Symantec’s reputation-based security technology. Because this detection is based on a reputation score, it does not represent a specific class of threat like adware or spyware, but instead applies to all threat categories. The reputation-based system uses "the wisdom of crowds" (Symantec’s tens of millions of end users) connected to cloud-based intelligence to compute a reputation score for an application, and in the process identify malicious software in an entirely new way beyond traditional signatures and behavior-based detection techniques.

It doesn't mention W7 either. Unfortunately, I remember when Peter Norton's name was so well respected and his software was bug free. I used all of his stuff from copying 5 1/4 inch floppies to Disk tools. The unfortunate part is when Mr. Norton sold his company to Symantec ..... and everything hit the fan! They turned 'Norton Ghost" into a joke. Buy the program and then find out you cannot create a rescue CD. But you can pay extra to Symantec for one!! TV cable companies cannot even give away his anti virus software with a cable contract. Symantec kept his name but not his integrity. So a report coming from them is a grain of salt. Fred |
