I have not been able to determine which project this belongs to or why it is being removed by Norton security. It isn't in the Norton threat list that I can see. It points to a slot number, but by the time I get to look at who is using this slot its to late. Does anyone have any ideas or is this really a threat to my computer? ![]() |

It's most probably a false positive, that has happened before with Norton. Now usually removing any executable from a slot directory will cause the task running in that slot directory to fail. So which project's tasks have been failing catastrophically? When you know which project it is from, you can try to download the file by hand, and then upload it to VirusTotal to check it there. When those AV programs say it is harmless, it is harmless and Norton is seeing ghosts. |

If it belongs to a project, then I'd have thought that it would show up in the messages archive stdoutdae.txt during download. |
