360 Total Security doesn't like PMChrome theme

As some say, the fact that this excellent software program use multiple AV services can lead to more false positives...
It just bugs me to see constant notifications about PMChrome, even if "whilelisted" it.

BTW, don't have this issue with other PM themes.

More information is needed here, I'm afraid. What do you mean? What are the notifications? I'm assuming you mean the .xpi file, yes?

As an aside I can guarantee it's safe (assuming you got it from the Pale Moon Add-Ons Site or my GitHub repo, of course), but I'm still not exactly sure what's wrong here.

This is getting really strange.
Anyway, here's a sample of "error" message.
But the previous were with regards to the theme addon which don't seem to be anymore.

BTW, have only installed directly from PM website.

That doesn't appear to be an issue with the theme at all but moreso with the security software you're using, unfortunately. The theme is a collection of CSS and PNG files; there's nothing that can change anything of any kind, whatsoever (other than the look of the UI, of course). ;)

Kind of figured it would be nothing serious.
It's just that it doesn't give warnings of the sort for other browsers that have add-ons too.

It's likely that nannybot software like that has special case rules for the "big" browsers to prevent these kind of support requests from their paranoid software on common user applications...
The error message doesn't make much sense to begin with. The uninstall helper shouldn't even run unless you are uninstalling the browser so the "360" software is obviously already making a wrong association there. Or maybe this is a queued alert from having the browser update itself... in any case, Pale Moon normally DOES check the windows registry (to see if it's the default browser, for example) and the upgrade process will read and write to the registry as is normal. You shouldn't need any process monitoring on your registry to begin with, really.
