Yeah.
The problem is, Norton is rather wide-spread and it put a big
warning before this site now, which is rather annoing even if you
are convinced it's a false positive :-(
I suspect this can do much harm to the D community if we can't
manage to get rid of the warning. But only the site-owner can get
a re-evaluation from Norton.
