Why does Norton object?

While trying to upgrade my Flash Player:    Quote:

Malicious Web Site Blocked

You attempted to access: 

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_11_for_Other_Browsers&os=Vista&bro...

  This is a known malicious web site. It is recommended that you do NOT visit this site. The detailed report explains the security risks on this site.

For your protection, this web site has been blocked. Visit Symantec to learn more about phishing and internet security.

It looks like the correct site.  Comments???

Norton/Symantec is notorious for false positives.  Try downloading the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_hea... (under the heading Progess bar hangs...).

Would you be willing to take a screenshot of this error and email it to ccampbel@adobe.com?  We'd like to get to the bottom of this asap.  We've contacted Symantec and they've been unable to reproduce the error.

How do I capture and post a screenshot or video?]

In addition, what Norton product and version are you using?  Do you know if it's up to date?

Thanks,

Chris
