Norton File Insight marking installer as a threat

Norton Antivrus is marking an installer of mine, foobar_revision_1922.exe improperly as a threat because it has Very Few Users ( less than 5 in the Norton Community, WS.Reputation.1 ) and places the file in quarantine. Has anyone encountered this situation?

What is the best way to prevent Norton from flipping out?
This seems tedious and a Catch-22.

For future releases, such as foobar_revision_2116.exe, I would need to have five trusted users of the new version to pass quarantine.

If I rename all releases to a common filename foobar_installer.exe than this removes the useful version information and I imagine that the filesize is stored by Norton and this would fail anyway.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Edit:
I have found the answer after a little more searching - https://submit.symantec.com/whitelist/. Symantec has a whitelist program
