It's universal across the board, really, and it's been going of for a while. Nearly 10 years ago, I was doing MS office integration. Every new build of our addins got flagged by virus vendors. Norton in particular flagged us due to "reputation" which makes it sounds like you have a bad reputation, but what it actually means is not enough people have it installed, so they assume it must be a virus. Definitely makes it hard to gain traction as a small dev. We had to spend around 1k USD per year for the privilege of a code signing cert and had to jump through a bunch of hoops like submitting every build to Norton before we released. Very annoying and definitely a racket.
