Symantec flagging virus

Symantec is flagging a flagging GRIP-v1.5.2-x86_32.exe as a WS.Reputation.1 risk when it executes. It gets quarantined 'because not enough Symantec gurus have scanned it'. Here are the details:

GRIP-v1.5.2-x64.exe has no issues with Symantec.

I thought you'd want to know. Cool tool!

Interesting that it flags the 32-bit version (which @AustinShalit builds manually) but not the 64-bit one that our CI tools build for us.

innocent face

This could be that less people use the 32-bit build? Could also be an artifact of building in my VM. This will probably be solved as soon as we figure out how to get AppVeyor to build 32-bit

This makes sense, we aren't a heavily used application so I'm not shocked that we don't have any sort of reputation with Symantec.

I think this could be flagged as a "wontfix", even though its more of a "can't fix"
