Symantec false positives (again)

This time around, the uninstall program for filezilla is apparently Adware.CPush - yeah right. What has happened to Symantec's QA - there have been too many false positives this year. Update It's also detected spiceworks as the same virus too....

with the 7/15 defs, there is also a false positive in the Filezilla uninstaller. They probably use the same uninstaller technology.

The rapid response defs dated 7/16 rev 5 seemed to solve my problem. I am worried that when I reported the false positive to symantec, their auto response system told me the file was a virus and would be detected in rapid response defs 7/16 rev 17. Hope they dont reintroduce the false positive.
