g2222: Don't make this a matter of pride or "superiority". I just wanted to stop you from doing something extreme after a small hickup. Whatever, just do what you want.
P. Zimerickus: yea ssuuuure and wait for the next time you suddenly find yourself wanting to stop someone.. maybe we are better of with discussing this now, no? You can send private message if you like You can bring it back from there (don't ask me how to exactly, I don't use Norton).
There are 2 things that can happen.
Norton sees it as a thread right now.
Norton doesn't do anything.
My bet is on, Norton will do nothing at all, because most likely somebody else reported the file already as a false positive and Symmatec put it on the whitelist for Norton, AVG and Avira (as said, they are all basically the same these days with one might use less aggressive settings then the other , so they share false positives).
If you are that insecure about false claims of your AV, switch to one with fewer (I already mentioned Nod32 or even the MS Defender, that is a full fleshed out AV on its own).
Not sure how Symatec survived till today by all the shit their software did in the past.
