This didn't happen to me. But from the screenshots at their forum I see that mscorsvw.exe accesses a dll (in c:\windows\assembly...) and that dll is detected as malware and moved to chest or even deleted (I do not like these default settings, btw). But as far as I know mscorsvw.exe is related to .NET Optimization service... that is disabled on my machine and maybe this is why I never had this problem. SP1 didn't install any new .NET framework for me (my version is v4 - Client - the last version available but was updated before SP1, last year actually). Maybe for those who didn't had .NET framework v4 SP1 included that too.

All providers get false positives, it's a thing that can't be helped but I am quite suprised that files within the SP1 from microsoft were flagged really.
