Thank you for letting us know, I have sent your post to tech.

Hi there,

This is a problem with F-Secure. They've issued an update to fix it.

There's a note on their website about it here:
www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002073.html

If you update your definitions file in F-Secure again, the problem should stop.

Cheers,
Tech
