Re: [libreoffice-users] False Positive?

I do not know of anyone locally that uses Norton's A.V. suite.  I use
Comodo [like the dragon] for the free Internet Suite.  I do not know how
hard it would be to remove a false-positive, but I have been using it
since I started using Vista.  Now it gets installed on every system I
get my hands on that needs a "working" suite of security packages.

Now - can you work around a false-positive with Norton's?  I know that
there is some with Comodo, more with the firewall than the a.v. but it
is there somewhere.  I just do not use Windows much anymore to need it
for the a.v. part.
