It's a false positive that was discovered yesterday. I have a link to the virustotal report in the comments of the release announcement linked on the frontpage. Please report it to norton so they can fix their bug.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
It is interesting that this did not cause problem with the regular version.
They seem to have completely dropping any such bug reporting options.
