Disappointed in NOD32
Security is an important issue, but at some point you need to just stop trying to defend against imaginary foes. I’m disappointed in ESET NOD32 as it is giving a false positive for OpenCandy as spyware. I’ve looked into OpenCandy extensively. VERY extensively. I’ve examined the SDK.
