Norton Using Malware???

Ok found a program called GEARDIFx.exe in my Program Data folder on my C drive.  Looked up the developer of this software.  Gear Software Inc.  Go to their website and Norton wont let me access it because of malware and a bunch of Hijack threats.

 

Now according to this post http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/GEARDIFx-exe/td-p/383810

 

Norton uses this program??? Why would Norton use a program that is considered malware by the other malware detection suites and even Norton blocks you from accessing their site.

 

WOW who can you trust these days?
