    I've been using Junkware Removal Tool for some time now with no issues but lately when I run it and it updates, Norton deletes it as it believes it's a virus. It happens when I try to run the updated .exe it places on my desktop. It happened before so I went to the website to download it and it ran fine but I soon as it updates itself, Norton deletes it. Should I just keep downloading it from the website when I want to use it?

    It's definitely false positive. It happens.
    Report it to Norton.
