Others have talked about this exact issue. It's a false positive.
Workaround is to turn Norton off before/while you download. GNUcash
does not have a virus. The anti-virus softwares just do not like
uncertified software - which -- costs an arm and a leg to get (a
certificate). AVAST users are experiencing a similar issue. I use
Malwarebytes and have placed it on the whitelist (allow). Have no
issues.

Thanks!
