well, not really wanting to take a leaf out of norton, but they use a similar feature to filerep, i.e. file insight
it seems that they both are similar in producing false positives on lesser known programmes by unknown developers (assuming that the programme is safe)
so is it possible to implement something like norton did?
refer to this website: https://submit.symantec.com/whitelist/isv/
or does Avast! have a better idea?
