PDF:PhishingX-gen

[RichardW_Ross]

Earlier today, I was upgraded to the latest version of Norton for Mac. A few hours later, I got a message that 7 of my files were quarantined due to a PDF:PhishingX-gen virus. However, all of these were PDFs that I created myself, and none of them had been modified in months, or even years. These were all for my records; they were not sent to anybody else.

What is going on with this new, “improved” version? The previous version did not have this problem.

I am in a similar situation.

Me too. But for new Windows version.

I have 145 files with that same message. Who has time to send each link to Norton. A better fix is needed.
