NIS 2012 - error "3048,3".... Norton Power Eraser removed "tpe.exe" ... suspect False positive

Norton Power Eraser  identified and removed the file "TPE.EXE" type "shortcut" .. this file was included in an application at the photographer web site photoephemeris.com/..    and was installed at C;\program files (86)\tpe\tpe.exe ..
This pgm has been installed for at least a month with at least 3 CLEAN  full system scans using NIS 2012  and it was also  installed
in the program library ...  without an error message until today

.
I don't believe this specific file is malware but i am not sure how to conclusively verify if it is safe or not.
