Re: [libreoffice-users] False Positive?

Hi :)
Yet another advantage of OpenSource.  

To get Norton to take notice it will probably take tens of thousands of people writing in to 
grumble.  So it would help if quite a few people on this list could grumble as that might be enough 
to tip the balance whereas for just 1 person to write in sometimes feels like a complete waste of 
time.  

With OpenSource it only takes 1 person to grumble, and then a bit of luck to catch a dev's eye when 
they aren't inspired to work on something else.  Extra grumbles don't make much difference and 
might even be counter-productive.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

I would recommend emailing Norton and AVG and saying lower their 
threshold. These false positives can come with stable releases as well 
and they aren't our fault. These programs set these stupid system 
thresholds to determine if something is malicious and then we get 
blamed. There are several bug reports on FDO (our bug tracker) related 
to this over the last few months and all have been closed as INVALID.

If enough people email Norton saying "hey we pay for this stuff and yet 
we get these false positives" maybe they'll do something to make their 
algorithm a bit smarter.


All the best,
Joel
