Fwiw, *I* have the product as well, because it came with my laptop
purchase, I hate it but chose not to fight the
uninstall-get-a-better-product dance yet.

I tested this method in the past, before I found their whitelist page,
the problem is that doing this method, only clears it for *me* not *you*
it takes a "significant" number of reports for them to clear it for
others, how many they never say.

And it is ONLY that install, e.g.
 * Installed SM <x.y>
 * Ran SM <x.y>
 * Norton flagged and quaranteed for this issue
 * Submitted false positive, un-quaranteened file
 * Exited SM
 * Uninstalled SM
 * re-installed SM <x.y> [same ver]
 * Ran SM <x.y>
 * Norton *again* flagged and quaranteed despite my marking it to ignore
that file.
 * -- This is part of why I noticed that Norton modifies the file
slightly when it restores it, presumably to add an internal signature of
some sort that doesn't really change how the file behaves, but does
modify the sha-sum and causes the hotpatching used by our update system
to break

Also since each LOCALE/VERSION is different it adds up in terms of human
effort to even do that.
