      As part of the MOOC (M101P/2016_March), there is the need to download software.
      The download works fine ; however, Symantec blocks & quarantines files (see versions below), marking them as 'malware' due to 'low reputation'
      Yes, Symantec has problems detecting 'false positives' ... however, It would be in the best interest of everybody to have you contact them ... every time you release MSI files ... in this way ... your files will be 'marked' as (really) good files.
      FYI, with a few of my peers, we are doing the MOOC in the office. Locally, it is not possible to modify the settings of anti-virus ... as the training is not official
