Norton found cmdow.exe as a security risk

Question

Upon research I found that Cmdow is a Win32 commandline utility for NT4/2000/XP/2003 that allows windows to be listed, moved, resized, renamed, hidden/unhidden, disabled/enabled, minimized, maximized, restored, activated/inactivated, closed, killed and more.

So this is a false positive, right?

What should be the appropriate action to take in this case?

Norton scan windows say this:

Risk: SecurityRisk.Cmdow

Exclude: A check box

Should I check the box?

Action: Partial

Count: 2

Filename: cmdow.exe

Answer 1

"Cmdow was written with batch file programmers in mind."

It is safe to delete if you so wish, unless you do batch programing you don't really need it.

Excluding would be fine.

Answer 2

In my opinion the appropriate option would be to switch to AVG xD

I would say go with your gut but then again Norton is the *shudders* most popular anti virus so it's gotta know what it's doing right. And think, you couldn't be the first person in the world with the issue, and that person wouldn't've checked it out the way you did (kudos by the way ;) and they would've just clicked whatever buttons necessary so they could get back to their precious porno, so yeah I would think Norton would know what it's doing. If not, hay that'll make one fun lawsuit xD
