of course there can be differences of opinion about what constitutes
malware and not all software will agree on the threshold. That doesn't
make one necessarily better unless you have actually analyzed what
Kaspersky identified as positive and have reason to believe that it is a
genuine threat. Generally, these positives derive from vague java cache
files that probably don't amount to much but of course we can't know
that from this anecdotal report.
