[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 778440"] I think there has been alot of back and forth going on lately when it comes to Microsoft and their practices. I don't for one second disagree that they have done some very questionable things over the years (and continue to), but right now I think we are very much heading into anti Microsoft paranoia. Every little thing that happens automatically gets people on the "Microsoft is up to something bandwagon." As I've said this happened very recently to VS, and it's a signed piece of software that was downloaded from the VS site. I've had Emsisoft flag new updated versions of Firefox on more than one occasion when I was using it, so FP happen. I think with the improvements they have made in regards to detection, it has significantly increased their FP rate and as I've said they really need to fix this issue as its slowly starting to get out of hand. I really want to stress that I am NOT a fanboy of Microsoft and I am NOT blindly saying they are the greatest company on earth. Quite frankly I have just as much scepticism as everyone else, but unless someone can provide actual proof from within Microsoft showing that they planned to do this on purpose, then it's just speciation at this point. We cannot always assume that because of past issues that they are always up to no good. [/QUOTE]
