Just got this notification from Norton365:

"We've moved calibre-parallel.exe to your Quarantine because it was infected with IDP.Generic".

But isn't calibre-parallel.exe a valid calibre process?

From my understanding of "IDP.Generic", that's simply a threat category and not something specific like a virus, malware or trojan, right?

I assume what I need to do is just restore the quarantined file (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NoH...ew?usp=sharing) but would appreciate confirmation. I'm always going to be cautious when notified something has been quarantined because it's been infected with something.

Just wondering why Norton365 is giving me this warning now for the first time after updating to 8.13.0 when I've been using both calibre and Norton 365 for years.

Norton365 Quarantine offers four options:

"Restore"
"Create exclusion & restore"
"Extract"
"Send for analysis"
