The site's spokespersom claims that Norton identifies ANY software written by Delphi as a virus, because Delphi uses an advanced PE header design in the binary.. That's over my head, but I don't believe it.
What's the truth here?

free_problems,
The spokesperson was speaking the facts to you. This issue is known and listed in the Hot Issues and Hot Fixes link at the top of the board. If you turn OFF SONAR you should be able to download the software and install it. You may also have to exclude the software from Auto-Protect and SONAR scanning (there is an exclusion list for just that purpose in NIS2010).
