 From Symantec:

"
In relation to submission [3520634].

Upon further analysis and investigation we have verified your submission 
and, as such, the detection(s) for the following file(s) will be removed 
from our products:

	8BF7925F25CCEA0AAEC7A55A47D7B688 - locale.exe
	67BCB92191272EE1D204C557741C81AA - tzset.exe
"
and I can confirm that the latest update is ignoring the two files.

Unfortunately I suspect we will see more of this crap in the future.
Trojan.ADH.2 seems a very braod and popular item on
their antivirus definition...
