    Hi,

    I think it's fair to say false positives will affect any product over time.  The key is to assume it will happen and therefore not take action other than block.   With the default settings all computers would have been fixed in a couple of hours.  If you move to another vendor, be sure to check the default action settings otherwise you'll end up in the same situation again.
