Trojan??? DesktopGadgets-Silica CPU Meter.exe

Today, all the red flags in my security went off and this is the program that came up as a trojan. ( Trojan:Win32/Orsam!rts ) Can someone verify here that this is a false positive? I've been using MSE since March when I got a new laptop and redownloded all of my Stardock programs and this is the first time it's come up. Of course, MS can't give me any more info. Has anyone else had this pop up? I searched, but didn't find anything here.

Definitely a false positive. I use MSE and just called up the cpu meter. I also use threat fire and neither one ID'd as a trojan. Hope this helps.

Norton 2010 has been picking away at Silica for awhile for me. Silica has been on my computer in more than one place for years; it was only recently that Norton started to notice it. If it was true, I would have had some trouble long ago. I believe it's packaged with DesktopX, so anybody that has DX would have Silica widgets, and the problem would have surfaced years ago.

Norton screamed at me anytime any DTX theme/object/widget/gadget/script ran way back in 2003

I use Avira paid version and it has eaten a lot of gadgets of mine. Do you have yours set to act automatically and quarantine? Can you not restore from the quarantine cache? Can you set an ignore type command? Unfortunately it does happen, especially the older they get, from my own experience. I know this is not much help but I definitely empathize.

Also mcAfee yells about the same thing and gets rid of it with out asking.
