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
