Frequently I will download a .exe file and Norton says that the file needs attention.
The latest file I have downloaded is PSISetup.exe and Norton pop-uped claiming it needed attention.
Some information on the file:
Signature: Secunia
Tens of thousands of users
Released more than 31 days ago
There are indications that that this file is trustworthy
Why does Norton not say this (specific) file is safe?
