Norton AntiVirus deletes Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 Trial

[darryl_staflund]

Hi everyone,

I just thought I would let everyone know that the latest version of Norton Antivirus just deleted my Alfresco Enterprise 3.4 trial download (64-bit Windows.)  Here is the threat information reported by NAV:

(WS.Reputation.1) from: alfresco.com
Fewer than 5 users in the Norton Community have used this file.
This file risk is medium.
Threat type: Insight Network Threat. There are many indications that this file is untrustworthy and therefore not safe.

Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong on Alfresco's side – NAV is just trigger-happy.  I have submitted a dispute with Norton, so hopefully I'll be able to download it another time.

I just heard back from Synamtec and they have removed this detection from their product.  Here is their response:
