Euphoria 3.1.1 Installer Flagged by Symantec

I just wanted to mention that the 3.1.1 installer from rapideuphoria.com has been flagged with the notoriously unhelpful WS.Reputation.1 by Symantec. This may not be a huge problem, since most new users should be opting to use 4.x now, but I thought it might be worth mentioning. My AV just removes the installer immediately with no input from me.
This is the link to the Virus Total report:
You can read Symantec's vague description of WS.Reputation.1 here:

I notice it's also flagged by NANO-Antivirus (Virus.Win9x.Gen-Crypt.ccnk), but I've never heard of that engine before.
I'm not sure if there's an action item here but it's probably not great to have the 3.1.1. installer throwing off virus smell (even if it's a legacy version). Domains get associated and the next thing you know Google starts pushing them down the search rankings as "suspicious". It's a great way to kill organic traffic so is probably worth fixing.
I think there are steps to clear these reputation flags with Symantec? Do you guys already have experience with this or should I do some research?
