How did you go from the user name "Boone Gorges" with an avatar of a guy to the user name "Brittney" with a pic of a woman?

I didn't know a user could change their user name, avatar yes, but I thought your user name was set in stone. Not that I would want to change mine, but I am curious.

Are you joking ? Do you think we would know about a trojan in our software, and didn't do anything about it ? It's obviously a bug of the antivirus used.

Not all of them have this problem, only those using aggressive heuristic methods instead of just a database of file that *proven* to be threats, only to brag about the ability to discover viruses not yet discovered. This leads to a lot false positives, like in this case.

So, in fact, the antivirus product is causing more damage than the threat is supposed to stop, since it's preventing you to use a legit software.

Hnla:
Well I trust my antivirus more than I trust the download because the software company in the .exe is "Unknown" and "Untrusted"
