I switched Process Explorer and saw that WSA  has been classified as a virus by atleast one AV company
using Virus Total.
I think its a funny mistake that will be soon corrected.
WSA is a great product and that company at the very least owes Webroot an apology.

Has happened before and will no doubt happen again...these false positive from the lesser known and less reliable minor players in the field are quite laughable.

It is not uncommon for WSA to be flagged by some of the VirusTotal scanners, but it has been a while since I've seen it flagged - I check every once and a while for giggles.
