I assume you are using the version of Norton that isn't
an 'Enterprise' solution.

Norton will do this to some of the files Tomcat installs
as well as the JavaScript files.

We got around this by having the Anti Virus software run
on a different server routing traffic.  Also, we've found
McAfee is better to run for JSP/Servlet containers & App
Servers than Norton.

Not a bash on Norton, I love it for home use.

Sounds like NAV may have returned some false positives.  The only
"virus-like" content I would expect inside a plain HTML doc would be
rogue JavaScript.

Perhaps you could point your admin to the web resources you found, those
concerning false positives from NAV?

This could become a sticky issue of corporate politics, depending on
your organization's structure.  You may have to get your management to
talk to the admin's management.
