Hi there, this just popped up when installing a benchmark program from offical nvidia website:

Just wondered what you think? the fact that its from offical nvidia website, should I just click allow in top drop down box and click apply action at bottom coz it cant be a real thread if its from nvidia can it?

P.S. I got the Star Tales - Benchmark Demo at the top on this page: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/content/graphicsplus/in/download.asp

Thanks in advance :confused:

After a cursory look on Google it looks like a false positive, and other AVs have flagged it similarly. You should be ok to ignore this warning.

Wouldn't a false negative be a positive? :confused:

Might be worth informing NVidia about this and they should be able to do something about it.

You also have Java and Adobe updates to install
