The Norton website marks electrum.org as malicious: https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=electrum.org

This is the reason why the reference to the Electrum client has been removed from the Bitcoin article in the Spanish Wikipedia. Would it be possible for anyone at electrum.org go to the link I provided and ask Norton to remove the threat?

Norton classifies many many Bitcoin things as malicious... now heaven forbid a Bitcoin CLIENT infect a user.

Miners... I can understand... but clients... that's just bad.

There is a link in the norton page I provided, where the site owner can dispute norton's verdict. It has no sense to consider electrum.org as a "Malicious Site: Malicious Domain Request 2". IMHO, it doesn't speak highly of Norton.
