Unfortunately this is a common false positive caused by our installer being written in AutoHotKey, a scripting language mainly used for games, but which tends to get flagged up by antivirus software. We will fix this, but it will take some time. In the meantime you should be able to tell Norton to ignore the false alarm. This is a page on Norton's website showing that this pattern is low risk and giving some ideas for how to secure your system: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2011-122605-0918-99&tabid=2 This is an example of problems that other software creators have had with this: https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/false-detection-made-by-Sonar/td-p/421390
