Fairfield Language Technologies' Rosetta Stone Software installs by default in the same directory as FlashTrack, namely "%ProgramsDir%\Flt" which cause Bazooka to report a false positive.

Note: Rosetta Stone Software is 100% legitimate software and is not in any way related to the adware or spyware. Do not delete "%ProgramsDir%\Flt" if you are running Rosetta Stone Software.

Note: %ProgramsDir% is a variable (?). By default, this is C:\Program Files.
