I regularly have the R.dll removed. AFAI can tell, it depends partly on how aggressive a heuristic level you have chosen, in part I think related to the number of users. In any case you can restore it and set a rule to have it ignored. I suppose you could tell symantec, but it's never been enough of a nuisance to me to set my own rules to bother trying to contact them.
