Norton removes files thinking them unsafe #1472

I have unzipped the latest OTVDM build, but Norton says that all the files are not safe and have been removed. How can this be fixed? I mean, how can these files become trusted by antivirus vendors?

@WindowsNinetyTen - If you want, you can submit them to the malware vendor as false positives. The author of them is under no obligation to do so. There is no other method. And you may also want to look for expert advice on whether or not you need third-party malware software under current Windows.

You can also make an exception for them in your current antimalware software; you may need to search the web for the method.
