"Sometimes" you get a false positive from  a virus program.
IF you get a file from a trusted source, this "should" not be a
problem, EXCEPT THAT some of the largest names in the
industry have inadvertently "passed on" virus infected files.
Norton has a feature to send a Quarantined file in to "the lab"
to be checked.  I would do that. Start Norton AV(5), hit the
Quarantine button, and then the Submit button.
If nothing else, this will bring to their attention "something" is wrong.
They can't fix what they don't know is broken...
I have had false positives in the past, and it usually requires
(when that is the problem) a change in the updated definitions.
As far as which is better? Some people say scanning with a couple
(not "Auto Protect" in real time) is the best. Personally, I don't have
the time for that. I use Norton(5) because I have had it since ver. 1.
