Hi Noam, thanks for the link, i used it to upload some of the emacs programs, reporting them as being falsely anti-virus detected. I also submitted some of the exe's to virustotal.com, as mentioned in some other Norton community message, and none of the emacs exe's triggered any other anti-virus detections.
It's still a hassle, though, since, while many of the emacs programs are Quarantined by the Norton anti-virus (and can be easily restored), some others are Removed, for which there's no undo operation (all with the falsely detected WS.Reputation.1 message).
thanks,
/jeff

According to https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.norton.com_en_forums_clarification-2Dwsreputation1-2Ddetection&d=DwIFaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=yx7WeBO4vNFR2eleLG4z-w&m=o9Wkgj_Y9o3uwCY0WRrKyP4cX03_nVur3WsvHwtHGfY&s=qZ0lBbq4-JjwBbDalE5G8WHRkRB8NKGNShuCa4iCQ44&e=,
this warning doesn't represent a virus finding specifically:
WS.Reputation.1 is a detection for files that have a low
reputation score based on analyzing data from Symantec’s community
of users and therefore are likely to be security risks.[...]
The reputation-based system uses "the wisdom of crowds"[...]
