Symantec Antivirus problem

I just read an article describing a way that our Symantec Antivirus software could falsely identify a file as a virus. The file is part of Spybot Search and Destroy version 1.3, which may be installed on some Emerson computers. Symantec released a virus definition update on May 30, which began incorrectly identifying "blindman.exe" as a virus. They have since released corrected virus definitions, but you still may see this error on Emerson computers until the new defs are loaded.
