That's sad to hear. Symantec does provide a way to submit a "suspicious"
program to
be reviewed:

Open&src=tranus_con_br&seg=hm
Do you mind submitting it? I don't own Norton Internet Security so I am not
able to
do so. In the mean-time, I've posted a .zip version of namebench 1.0.5 that
should
work around the issue. You will have to extract it somewhere and then
double-clock
on namebench.exe to get started.

Thank you for the alternate download.
The weird thing is that when I click on the download link in Internet Explorer,
Norton Internet Security immediately pops up a security risk warning and blocks
the
download, but if I download the file with Firefox, or scan the downloaded file
with
Norton Internet Security, no threats are detected. Go figure...
I believe that you, as a software developer, could fill in Symantec's False
Positive
Submission form, available at
https://submit.symantec.com/dispute/false_positive,
with the following Software Detection information:
Name of detection given by Symantec: Heuristic Virus Suspicious.MH690.A; Action
taken: Blocked; Affected Areas: c:\documents and settings\administrator\local
settings\temporary internet files\content.ie5\yqboz4np\namebench-1.0.5[1].exe
Additional information: Definitions Version 2009.12.12.038; Norton Internet
Security
2008 Version 15.5.0.32; Windows XP SP3. File download is blocked in Internet
Explorer 8.0, but is allowed in Firefox 3.5.5. After download, file scan
reports
that "no viruses, spyware, or other risks were found".

Thanks for the information. I've submitted the dispute form to Symantec. I
suspect I will
never hear anything back, but I provided a URL to this issue so that they may
comment
on it. Cheers!

According to Symantec, this should b fixed in the next push. I would be curious
to
see in a few days if this problem still exists:
We are writing in relation to your submission through Symantec's on-line
Security
Risk Dispute Submission form for your NameBench software being detected by
Symantec Software. In light of further investigation and analysis Symantec is
happy to
remove this detection from within its products.
The updated detection will be distributed in the next set of virus definitions,
available
daily, or weekly via LiveUpdate, depending on Symantec product version, or
daily
from our website at
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/defs.download.html.
Decisions made by Symantec are subject to change if alterations to the Software
are
made over time or as classification criteria and/or the policy employed by
Symantec
changes over time to address the evolving landscape.
