subject: Norton Detects W32.Sality

Has anyone else seen this problem?  I use Ad-Aware as on-demand scanner and 
have Norton Security Suite ("free" version from Comcast) as real time 
scanner.  After updating to Ad-Aware 11, Norton started detecting 
"W32.Sality.W" in a temp file in the Ad-Aware program folder on every scan. 
Each time it said it had removed the threat and requested reboot to complete 
the removal process.  Next scan it finds it again.  Nothing found by 
Malwarebytes, Spybot S&D, or Ad-Aware itself.  After 6 or 8 times I finally 
uninstalled Ad-Aware and Norton hasn't found anything since.  I'm assuming 
this was a false positive but haven't seen any reports of a similar problem. 
I'll probably wait a week to be sure problem doesn't return before trying to 
re-install Ad-Aware.
