Unfortunately I can't do much about this as due to Norton 360's Symantec Endpoint Protection, it uses information about a file's popularity. This program isn't super widespread and not seen as "trustworthy". The reason for detection is "WS.Reputation.1" and that there are fewer than 5 users using it on the Norton network. The only way is to whitelist the app for this detection at least. If there is any way for me to apply for a exemption, I'll gladly try to go through the process.
