Yes I also heard the same thing. The problem with Norton, it finds a lot of 'false positive'.

Not false positives however, it's built to recognize "hacktools" and other things like that which aren't meant to break your computer in any way. That can be configured however through Norton's signature settings to not show you warnings, or block files with particular signatures. Norton actually has less false positives than something like ESET, which has lots of them. And BitDefender was rated as one of the AV's that don't generate a lot of false positives either.
