Default Re: false positives

What is false positive to one may not be false positive to someone else.
Shareaza is a p2p file sharing software that can carry lots of security
risks, but if you think you want it, simply set the option to "ignore" and
report it to spynet. They review the "ignore" submissions and can identify
false positives in this manner. Personally if I see p2p software on a
clients PC it is coming off if they want me to continue working on it. But,
that's my personal opinion.

I whole heartedly agree.

If someone chooses to be ignorant to the dangers of P2P programs they can download it after I finish my work.
