    I downloaded v 3.29 today, found I already had it, so deleted the extra download file. When I ran CCleaner hours later to empty recycle bin, Norton Antivirus popped up and noted an unknown file (not that it did anything suspicious, just unknown).

    The file is $RS6H04M.exe. Downloaded from http://hivelocity.dl.sourceforge.net/project/passwordsafe/passwordsafe/3.2x/3.29/pwsafe-3.29.exe

    Is this a legitimate file (cannot find it in my installed version o 3.29)? Did I get malware downloaded from the password safe site? Odd that Norton popped up when deleting a file.

    I've no idea what this means.

    Every now and then PasswordSafe triggers a false alarm on this or that antivirus. If in doubt, you can use https://www.virustotal.com/, which runs PasswordSafe through all current versions of several antivirus products.
