I recently installed the paid version of the AVANGATE.COM search engine, "Copernic". I used Copernic several years ago without noticeable problem. It is much more comprehensive than the standard Microsoft search program that is built into the Win 7 Professional OS I use.
__Today, I received a notice from Norton of probable outbound malware and consented to run Power Eraser to identify -and remove, if authorized, suspect files. Three files were identified and I submitted all three to the Norton "cloud". One of the three was the Copernic 3.6.1.7 exe. program. The "threat details" hyperlink does not open, so I am at a loss as to what the threat may be, other than Norton's notation that few users have downloaded it.
__I have withheld action regarding removal, pending receipt of more information. I can be reached via e-mail at
