Malware alert from Norton Internet Security.....

Question

Using Fireshot 0.98.39 installed in Firefox 22 in Windows 8 x64 about three days ago. Ran my weekly virus scan today, and Norton quarantined as malware three Fireshot files, as well as a separate Firefox profile folder that FireShot appears to have created to contain the files. The files are called fireshot-deploy.exe, crashreporter.exe, and fsaddin64.dll. So, are these files contaminated? I cannot restore them to scan at VirusTotal, due to limitations with Norton. If they are clean, I will just reinstall Fireshot and direct Norton to ignore Fireshot. I installed Fireshot directly from the Mozilla Add-ons site.

Accepted Answer

Thank you for pointing at it! Yes, they are clean, please don't worry. I'll post a false positive claim to Norton.
