I believe you'll need to let Norton know not to scan the G'MIC file.
It's been a while,
but I think you can add file exceptions within Norton.

If you can't, turn Norton off while installing. GMIC is usually pretty safe.

Let me know if still having a problem with Norton. I have Norton and it always makes me "trust" G'MIC. It has even done that with Gimp if it is a new version download.
