It isnt a corrupt download, it is a false positive from Norton. Then WS.Reputation.1 isnt a virus,
Quote
WS.Reputation.1 is a detection for files that have a low reputation score based on analyzing data from Symantec’s community of users

Send the file to norton and they will remove the false positive :wink:

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.

So in other words, not enough people use my program for norton to consider it popular.
