Norton says that duxa 1.6 all-in-one installer has a threat called 'WS.Reputation.1' in it. Be careful.
"WS.Reputation.1" is a label that is attached to just about anything Norton doesn't recognize.

But yes, it's annoying to de-quarantine files, so be careful.

Ah, Ty Myriverse.

*edit*
From Norton :
"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. "

Ok, the message they give is kind of misleading. They are saying not that they have actually detected a threat signature in particular, but just that they don't recognize that particular file name/location. But they actually up and quarantine it and make it sound like they detected an actual threat. Kinda starting to wonder about Norton.

Norton and McAffee are both terrible virus scanners.

Top paid virus scanner (though not good for inexperienced computer users):

Kaspersky:

http://usa.kaspersky.com/?domain=kaspersky.com

AVG is still good as a free alternative:

Webroot for a paid option thats between these two:

Can confirm. IT Manager here and I use AVG business across my domain of about 100 devices. Have the least amount of problems with it compared to others. I also sold it as a solution when I was a 3rd party IT guy for about 50+ businesses. Will admit to having never used Kaspersky, but have heard nothing but great things. Norton and McAfee are terrible.
