Demos don't harm

Background story: CHIP's reader (Polish Edition) found a virus in the Demoscene section of the cover DVD attached to issue 07/2010. It was a Norton alert - executable file of "The Golden Path" demo was described as a Trojan Horse (actually it was packed with kkrunchy). So I filled up a false-positive submission form at https://submit.symantec.com/dispute/false_positive/ and after 2 days I got an answer from Symantec (below).

Now, The Golden Path isn't a Trojan Horse anymore.

If you have some spare time and your anti-virus makes you angry every time you're launching an intro ( for example one of those: http://hardcode.untergrund.net/ ), don't hesitate to write to your protection provider.

"We are writing in relation to your submission through Symantec's on-line Security Risk / False Positive Dispute Submission form for your The golden path by United Force (demo) being detected by Symantec Software. In light of further investigation and analysis Symantec is happy to remove this detection from within its products. [...]"
