I think my Norton Antivirus is picking up something related to Daz3d

velean2.0

It's labeled as Suspicious.Cloud.9. I had two risks show up that Norton couldn't remove. It asked me to use Norton Power Eraser. When I ran the Norton Power Eraser two Daz3d files popped up. I didn't want to erase because I don't want to lose fuctionality of the product. Anyone experience this? Can I just leave it be? Is this common?

Is it common that AVs pick up legit files as 'potentially malicious' or something?  Yes, false positives are very common.

Your best bet is to double check with another, on demand scanner or a web based service like Jotti's multi-scanner...

Your first step should be to uninstall Norton and delte the files. It's acts more like a virus than protection. Microsoft Security Essentials and something like Malware Bytes will do everything you need without taking over your cpu cycles or blockking legit files.

Let's put it this way...NAV has been going downhill since Symantec bought it out years ago.
