Norton has caused a large amount of frustration for our GitHub for Windows users - Symantec will basically block any EXE using MSys, because of its use of the CreateRemoteThread API. There is no way I am going to submit all of the 200+ EXEs that comprise MSysGit to that web form, though we will try signing all of the EXEs.
