I have been provided the full Norton report where it is using, as expected, "reputation" and nothing about the files themselves to suggest that there is a Medium Risk to using the file. I recommend that users *always* look at the details available on what a risk assessment is based on. If that is the basis for a warning from an AntiVirus, please consider these adjustments: [ ... ] > SUGGESTION: In your Antivirus Options, see if you can have quarantined > files not be automatically deleted. Also, see if you can have downloads > only be quarantined after checking with you first. This will allow you > to decide whether you want to allow a particular download and use other > methods to determine a file’s authenticity when the download is > something you know to be from an usually-reliable source. [orcmid] You can also allow the quarantine (but don’t delete anything). After looking at the explanation in the Antivirus history, then decide if you want to accept the file anyhow. Here is a typical report, in a NAV product’s recent history.
Below is the explanation on which the Medium Risk WS.Reputation.1 finding is based. Note that it is entirely because (1) the file is new and (2) few users of the antivirus (hundreds) have use it so far. There is nothing surprising here about the en_US Language Extensions for Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2 on Windows. Most en_US downloads are of the full en_US installation, which already has the en_US Language Extensions. The en_US language extensions are intended for users of different language versions that want to be able to switch in and out of the English interface and related extensions.
