I've been down this road before, some Antivirus software reporting my .net application as a some form of virus/trojan, when it's NOT.
The heuristic part means that Norton 360 thinks it's a virus based on how the software is written, but it's not.
Here's what I found when searching for SONAR.Heuristic.120 on the Norton support forum:
"Heuristics is a feature which uses a lot of artificial intelligence techniques for detecting malware in the system, rather than depending on signatures.
This advanced feature can cause a lot trouble in the developer environment by reporting false positives. This false positives may be also because of the programming style or libraries used.
Mostly the Norton series of products by Symantec is consumer / house hold intended, where most users like it set it and forget.
house hold line, which aims for simplicity and set it - forget it functionality."
I can assure you that I take this very seriously and I've stopped all download links for now.
I've also scanned the HboLauncher.exe application with www.virustotal.com which has 54 different antivirus engines and none of them found anything wrong with the HboLauncher.exe.

Yes, it should be clean:

Since it's probably quite few users out there that have hbolauncher.exe installed and it behaves in a way of starting other processes etc. it gets flagged as a potential virus and ends up in the quarantine.
E.g. word.exe (with the proper hash) is essentially a key logger but with millions of installed copies it's most likely the normal word.exe made by Microsoft.
You can go here and report a false positive.

Also by reading on that page, if you digitally sign you software you'll not have this problem.
Most likely this requirement will just increase in the future, not just for Norton.
