Hello,
I downloaded Autopatcher right now, since I want to try it.
But it actually seems like the file from the download server is infected.
As always when I download a file, I first did a scan with Norman Virus Control.
The result: One infected file under the folder apup_bin\uz.exe, which contains W32/VBTroj.SLY
So stay away, let this be a warning!!
This forum topic confirms it.
I didn’t find any contact information on the front page, therefore I had to create a new forum topic regarding this critical issue.

This is a known false-positive which is currenlty being discussed in this thread
Looks like we will need to report this false positve to Symantec.

@ Nénmacil
Have you updated your virus definitions recently?
The Norman definitions that detected W32/VBTroj.SLY are nearly three weeks old.
It's a false detection and most major AV companies have already updated their definitions to show uz.exe is CLEAN.

Thanks for the reply, Nénmacil.
As you can see from the link posted by Erik (THIS TOPIC) this matter is already known about.
I also see that Norman have a form to report false positives (Potential false postive virus alarm), but they also state:which is why I asked you.
As a Norman user, could you let them know that this is a false positive, please?

Before you submit any file that you suspect is a false positve, please make sure that you have updated your antivirus program with the latest virus detection files.
