Stress.Exe a Threat?

I've had stress.exe on my desktop for at least 6 months and as far as I can
tell, it hasn't caused any harm. I ran it through a virus check with updated
anti-virus files (Norton) before installing it, and it has never been tagged
by Norton or by numerous malware detectors. But today it showed up as a
threat in my weekly Norton AV scan--as joke software and therefore a
possible threat. It is joke software--but is it a threat? TIA.
