Heuristic viruses found in safe mode
I ran a full system scan in safe mode (with norton internet security) and it found 9 heuristic viruses. However upon examination of the summary, two of the "viruses" were files from Toshiba themselves that came preloaded on my laptop and the other ones were from well-known services such as skype and tor. Most of the files were either .exe or .msi. Now I think that these are false positivies because my laptop is only about a month old and those companies are world-renown. However is there any reason I shouldn't disregard this? I followed norton's advice and deleted the files, but if I see this in the future, I wonder if i should be alarmed.
