Hi /u/knowyourcoin_
So it's totally natural to be concerned when your AV software flagged the wallet as malware; always good security practice to be fully aware of what you're downloading and installing onto your computer.
At any rate, Norton was being a bit too enthusiastic about flagging the new wallet as malware :) there's nothing to worry about. Here's a comprehensive analysis I've just ran for you on version 1.2

If you need any explanation about what the report entails, feel free to comment or PM me. Not sure when I'll be able to respond, as I'm away on holiday for the rest of the week. The sum of it is that the wallet is safe and you should consider changing your AV solution to something better ;)
(I won't lie, I strongly dislike Norton, use Windows Defender if possible!)
Edit: I made a silly error; I didn't wait to upload the file entirely before I had downloaded it 😑 so I'm doing the scan again. Will update this comment once it's done. In the meantime, I replaced the link with the scan I've done on version 1.2 of the new wallet for you to look over.
Edit 2: okay so here's the updated scan

It was marked as malicious only because of the virustotal report of a few AV solutions flagging it as malware. However, if you actually go through all of analysis and see what every function does, you'll find that without the AV flags from VirusTotal (which aggregates AV solution results for a particular file), the wallet is harmless. But obviously you should go through the entire analysis and read it thoroughly for your own knowledge. If you need anything clarified from the report, again don't hesitate in reaching out to me.
