Yesterday I downloaded FF 3.5 on my desktop without any problems. This
morning I started to do the same on the laptop, only to get a large
warning message midway through (from Kaspersky Internet Security 8.0)
that Mozilla's site was suspicious and might contain a P2P worm. The
pop-up eventually disappeared and FF appeared to install without
incident. Still -- worrisome. Any thoughts?

Both my computers are running the same version of KIS as well as XP.

Most virus software is pretty bad at detecting these things, and I have seen
a number of false positives in the past with projects outside Firefox. I'd
ask Kapersky about it.
