Yahoo widgets with virus burst?

I recently installed the new yahoo widgets from yahoo directly. My norton antivirus is telling me that a virus named "virus burst" is in the unistall.exe file. Is this a virus or spyware?

Yahoo widgets with virus burst?
There was a false-positive issue with the new virus definitions Symantec issued for their security products (both under the Symantec and Norton brands) this weekend. This issue incorrectly identifies Yahoo! and other legitimate software as malware. We have been in touch with Symantec and there should be a fix shortly.
Reply:could be both. i would delete it and get a hold of yahoo.
Reply:hm... did you go to the Yahoo widget site to download?
