Summary0001013: Norton falsely claims that OpenMPT is potentially unsafe
Description

My antivirus software has been conflicting with Norton, where it potentially claims to be unsafe. Upon opening the installer for any program, and after installation, Norton does the same thing. Usually, a notification box says the installer requires attention, but the user has the option to run it anyway.

Steps To Reproduce

This can happen on any machine that has a version of Norton on it. Just simply download the installer and run it.

TagsNo tags attached.
Has the bug occurred in previous versions?Yes
Tested code revision (in case you know it)

Upon opening the installer for any program

So if this is a problem with any software, how are we supposed to do anything about this?
My proposed solution is to uninstall Norton and just use Windows Defender.

If Norton claims that OpenMPT is a threat (which I understand it does not), you must submit the program to them as a false positive so that they can whitelist it.
