Norton 360 just found two trojan threats in the following 2025 Adobe CC programs: Media Encoder and Premier Pro. These 2025 updates were automatic from Creative Cloud. Please tell me how this can happen.

It isn't a needed file for these two apps to work. The antivirus removes them and both programs still work.

The affected file (Script:SNH-gen [Trj]) is in the Russian dictionary inside the install.

Makes me wonder why this file is inserted in there in the first palce if there is no actual need for it ?

It really makes me question the "false positive" idea.

I had the same thing happen today Jan 6 2025. 

Script:SNH-gen [Trj]  (File name: ame.app.ru_RU.dat)  in Media Encoder and Premier Pro.  Downloaded from inside the Creative Cloud app.  My computer did not have any viruses before this download, I check frequently.  People pay good money for these Adobe apps, I would like to know how this can happen as well.

Same with AVAST field shield alert. Why would Adobe, an US company, include an app with RU suffix?
