Need Info About WS.REPUTATION.1

I am a SW developer for one product that I sell on the internet at my WEB site.  Could the readers please inform me about the following:

 

1. If a software download is on Norton's white-list does this mean it is downloadable without getting the ws.reputation.1 message for its current revision only?

 

2. If a software download is on the white-list is it excluded from ws.reputation.1 messages based on its SHA256 ?  If that's true everytime someone downloads the product it will get a different SHA256 because of the embedded timestamp that changes correct???

 

3. Is the triggering of the ws.reputation.1 message related to a specific web site or it doesn't matter where the download comes from?

 

4. Does anyone know if Norton has been taken to atleast small claims court on a regular bases from a developer to compensate his or her lost revenue?  Was it successful for the developer?

 

Thanks
