I suspect so - Norton regularly accuses my generated binaries of various infections so that I have had to stop it scanning the partition containing Boost (a good reason why a separate partition is a good idea - rather than stuffing it all in C:/boost/... ).
We should get it whitelisted, but I doubt if that is practicable.
