Norton «ate» LRT 4.1 !!!

#1 Lapsefinger
I just tried to upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1, but Norton saw the file as a threat and deleted it, and assured me that I didn't need to take any further action, my computer was perfectly safe! (* Insert foul language here*)

Have any of you experienced this?

BTW, here's what Norton has to say about the threat:

Updated:
February 15, 2012 3:15:47 PM
Type: Other
Risk Impact: High
Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows XP

Behavior
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. Detections of this type are based on Symantec’s reputation-based security technology. Because this detection is based on a reputation score, it does not represent a specific class of threat like adware or spyware, but instead applies to all threat categories.

The reputation-based system uses "the wisdom of crowds" (Symantec’s tens of millions of end users) connected to cloud-based intelligence to compute a reputation score for an application, and in the process identify malicious software in an entirely new way beyond traditional signatures and behavior-based detection techniques.

It's a false positive that has already be reported to Norton. Those AV programs get worse and worse... Just add the installer to the ignore list, it's clean.

It was only quarantined, so there was no real problem, it was easy to restore it. It just made me jump in my chair, that's all! :-)
