Thanks, but it changed a lot even before making any changes like start menu turned into Windows 7 style. Any way to avoid that?

No, you can't avoid that...It's by design..

There are a couple other entries for transparent/lucent task bar in this section. I tried the method in this link here, courtesy of Robbie, and I recall it worked pretty well back then (like 2 years ago). Now in Windows 2004, not so sure.

Surely it is a false positive. Norton is known to often detect apps with low reputation. It's safe, I'm using it now.
It's detecting the installer, right? I'll submit it to Symantec.

@venustus Regarding TranslucentTB, after submission Norton has removed the false positive now

I'll submit it to Symantec.

This is great! Symantec is surprisingly receptive to consumer submissions. They took care of fp regarding several child processes of a brand new Edge.dev build in just a few hours.

Yes, they're pretty quick to response. In general AVs response to FP faster than malware submission.
