Hello!

Upon upgrading both PrimalScript and PowerShell Studio from versions 2016 to 2017, Symantec Endpoint Protection detected a Suspicious.Cloud.2 vulnerability in the file "SAPIEN PowerShell V2 Host (Command line) Win32.exe" and quarantined the exe as a result. These files exist in both the PrimalScript and PowerShell Studio install directories listed below. In searching the forums I have discovered that this exe has been flagged with other vulnerabilities in previous versions but no other details were provided at that time. Symantec did not identify this upon my initial installation of the 2016 version, so I can only assume the file was white listed by them at some point. Are you able to provide more information as to what is in this exe that Symantec is identifying as a risk? In the meantime I have submitted the file for review to Symantec to identify if this is a false positive, which it most likely is.

We continuously monitor and scan our software and computers for virus and any other other kind of malware. So far, in all cases, reports like this have been false positives.
However, we do not know nor control what happens on your machine. So it is prudent for you to take the allegedly infected file and upload it to your anti-virus
provider for verification. They usually have a dedicated page on their site for this sort of thing.
They can then ultimately tell you if it is a true infection or just a pattern matching false positive.
