I had to but just saved it again and Norton blocked upon save.
Edit: Probably just took a few seconds for Norton to pop-up the first time.
NOD32 detected mine as soon as I clicked save. The file didn't make it to the directory

Avast 5 didn't pick it up immediately since I live vicariously without a resident scanner enabled, but it did pick it up when manually scanned.
