EPE tool cyclone10lp_epe.xls is detected as high risc (Script:SNH-gen) threat by Norton Antivirus

[FvM]

Hello,

Norton Antivirus recently started to detect cyclone10lp_epe.xls and other tool variants as virus infected. I can restore the file and set an exception, but I wonder if there's a cause for this valuation?

Regards

Frank

Don't those tools think that any file that includes macros has a virus?  Very annoying.

Hi,
I found that the topic has been discussed before. https://community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/Windows-10-Security-Reports-Trojan-in-cyclone10lp-epe-18-0-xls/m-p/1369315

The annoying point is that Norton has apparently disabled false virus detection of this kind of files for a while and reenable it now.
