as usual, norton IS the virus, just kill the norton and use a different av eg avast, avira etc.

I'd opt for Avira. Tests about two months ago indicated it's amongst the best when it comes to identification of most recent malware, removal of such and preventing false positives.

Kaspersky's very good.  It doesn't find as many false positives as it once did, and it's great at discovering new ("day 0") viruses.

I am attempting to use Symantec's service to whitelist future patches, but their page suggests it may take up to 3 weeks. Hopefully, once it sees a few submissions with our digital signing certificate, it'll move that into the "happier by default" phase of things.
