I think this is a false positive.
The Panda Toolbar is reporting that the web site/download of GPU-Z is dangerous.
This is happening on WinXP SP3 + Internet Explorer 8 as web browser (latest versions of Firefox and Google Chrome produce the same result as IE).
The problem is on the last step of the GPU-Z download, clicking the download link produces the screenshot attached.
(I am also attaching a screenshot showing the OS and antivirus versions info.)
Please contact Panda Security and tell them they should not report the web site/download link this way.

Thanks!

Would appreciate a "thanks" for my original post, if you/anyone find(s) it to be useful.

Hmm, maybe, but it is reporting the program download page, not these forums. :)
Maybe we should contact them to include the forums as a dangerous web site too!? (just joking :))
EDIT #2: Nope, in fact I only visit this section, and have not seem much (if any) fighting. Maybe in the other sections there is.

EDIT: Greets for everyone living dangerously! --->
The Prodigy - Mindfields (original) - YouTube
(hope this is not against any rules, if so, I will avoid doing this in the future)
