Norton finally fixes World Wind detection error

Well it has taken a couple of years but The Register reports the false positive NASA World Wind was producing has been fixed.  We often get reports of World Wind being infected with a virus on the forums, we then have to explain what a false positive is and get the user to check the file with an online scan, I do wonder how many other users simply abort the install and never run World Wind though.

P.S. – I could rant about Norton being a resource hog and recommend people don’t install it, but I’m not in a flame war mood today.
