This has been reported in the past and is - if I understand correctly -
related to heuristics. If you have a support contract with symantec, it
would be great if you could ask them if they could adjust their
heuristics (or provide details about what needs to be done to pass their
tests). I am not aware of anything we could do from our side without
more information from the provider of the anti virus software.
