My Norton Internet security detects it as Trojan.Gen.2 and keeps on removing it.

What's the policy anyway? I'd suggest the program's author contacts the antivirus providers and requests to update their detection rules.

"My Norton Internet security detects it as Trojan.Gen.2 and . . . "

Same Here. I just tried it myself about two hours ago and Norton gave the same response.

It's generally up to the products' users themselves to let the product publisher know that their antivirus product is producing false positives. Most providers make it very difficult for a software publisher to contact them and let them know of issues but provide an interface somewhere in the product itself to report issues.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
