Hi all,
Just downloaded "pctools" (the smallest version on the site) and my virus protection (ms security essentials) flagged it as a threat. Anyone else had this issue, is it a false positive?

If your talking about PC-Tools 4.11 (5ΒΌ), Your anti-virus is throwing up a false positive. Tested here, no warning tested with Virustotal (http://www.virustotal.com) and none of their anti-viruses found anything
