Is this a False Positive?

user_avatar****

With the current version of ADWCleaner (5.110) I noticed that it is picking up some new things:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\iikflkcanblccfahdhdonehdalibjnif HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\Extensions\iikflkcanblccfahdhdonehdalibjnif HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\Extensions\iikflkcanblccfahdhdonehdalibjnif [C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Secure Preferences] [Extension] Found : iikflkcanblccfahdhdonehdalibjnif

After some searching I found that it is the extension Norton Identity Safe v.1.05.  At least I think it is, or is it a virus/malware/etc. posing as Norton Identity Safe?

and i'm using Norton Security

Hello,

Yes, it seems that an unsafe extension is using a similar id than t a Norton legit one. We'll keep you informed about this FP removal.

So how do I tell if I have the unsafe or the legit one?

Hello,

FP should be fixed now.

Thank you it no longer detects the extension as malicious.
