Hi folks

Tried to install Firefox 16 last night and Prevx warned me about cloaked malware and wanted to remove firefox.exe.

I'm trying to determine whether any others have had the issue or whether its a false positive I need to take up with Prevx.

My subscription has about 50 days to run.

You may or may not know it does not use definitions as traditional AV does but uses heuristics backed up by a remote database. (It also seems to dislike the LiveDrive client for some reason)

Tried to install from the Mozilla site and again it alarmed.

Anyone else seeing this with other AV products?

About my system:

Win 7 x64 Pro
Intel Core i5 3450 3.10Ghz but operating at 3.29 in Turbo Boost mode.
4GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM

I am thinking about purchasing a licence for NOD32 from Freeola.
