According to SiteAdvisor, WindowBlinds contains the Reboot-BC threat and therefore "programs some people would consider adware, spyware or other potentially unwanted programs." Unfortunately, they don't provide any useful information about REBOOT-BC. Does anyone know what's going on?

Been using Stardock software/programs for quite awhile and have never had it load any adware or spyware.  You can go on line and find out what Reboot-BC is. 

The only way I have heard of folks having problems is when they download the software/programs from other then the Stardock site, if you know what I mean.

I have not seen SiteAdvisor, do you have a link?

SiteAdvisor is where McAfee publishes file ratings. You can see the report at http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/stardock.com/downloads/9349128/.

Okay, from time to time security software will give false positives.  I think that's what you have here.

I would suggest you email support@stardock.com and provide them the information you got from McAfee so if there is a problem they can contact McAfee.

Good idea. I just sent them an email.
